Israel’s military advantage over Hezbollah and Hamas no longer the same: Analysis

Rami Khoury says Hezbollah, with its release of a surveillance video of Haifa in Israel, is sending the message that the group’s capabilities “continue to expand, become more sophisticated”, and more able to “penetrate through Israeli defence systems”.
“This has been a steady process,” Khoury, a professor at the American University of Beirut, told Al Jazeera, adding that the same thing was happening with Hamas.
“Their abilities have expanded to the point where the old advantage that Israel had over both of them in technology and heavy weaponry, air superiority and all of those things, has been whittled down.”
He said the consequences of this were evident in Gaza where despite tens of thousands of Palestinians being killed, Israeli forces have not been able to “eliminate Hamas’s capacity to continue fighting”.
