The War Nerd: How many soldiers does Hezbollah actually have?

[500]

Israel used more than 20/30 K in Lebanon war, I believe around 60,000. In Gaza they used 90,000(not all went in). Israel's approach to war is different though, it adopts numbers approach. Because their soldiers aren't as skilled or prepared for combat, also for intimidation factor. It deploys large number and backs them up with artillery/air fire, and very heavy fire.

LOL Hazzy. Israel used just 4 infantry brigades in Gaza: Golani, Givati, Nahal and Para. Thats about 10 K total.

No way, minimum 50,000.

Israel's aim was to destroy Hizbullah infrastructure, destroy rockets, destroy missiles and for that it did all in 2006.

But result was this that Hizbullah became even stronger after 2006, became bigger hero, got much better and much more missiles and not it could do much destruction in Israel than before.

If Israel had really won the war of 2006, then Israel would have been treating Hizbullah the same way as it is doing with Syria i.e. bombing Syria at will without the fear of any retaliation. This is not the case with Hizbullah which is enough proof that Israel lost it's objectives in 2006 offence.

It is because Hezbollah stopped the aggressive way against Israel which explains why Israel didn't care to attack south Lebanon, for many reasons , for exemple i guess for political purpose (how to explain to the world )

If you check Winogerad report you'll find out why they don't attack Hezboallh again ...

Hezbollah on the other hands has pretty bombastic claims from Israel:

Don't worry next time you make a mistake you'll see them ...

In fact, Hezbollah is stronger than ever. It’s not just the strongest armed force in Lebanon—much stronger than the official Lebanese Army; it’s also the strongest Arab armed force, period.

Haha.. Hezbollah relies on sectarianism to exercise power and not actual military prowess. The only reason they haven't attacked Israel is because they know they'll be wiped from existence and not because they care at all about the Lebanese people, implying that they do is completely dishonest. Their only power is in Lebanon due to corruption and a disunited country (just they way the like it), this same cocktail is present in Iraq for example where sectarian militias have a lot of power also, but as soon as a people throw sectarian garbage where it belongs and recognize who really benefits from this bloodshed (Iran's leadership), terrorists won't have any leg to stand on.
