So stark is the danger of war erupting between Israel and Hezbollah — a far larger and more heavily armed fighting force than Hamas — that U.S. President Joe Biden last week sent one of his top aides, Amos Hochstein, to Israel and Lebanon to push for a solution. But for now, this remains a"comparatively distant scenario," Tricaud said,"with many escalatory steps likely to take place before the confrontation reaches such a level of intensity."
"However, it only takes a single stray rocket causing significant casualties and the adversary retaliating in kind, for things to get out of control."Hezbollah is considered to be among the most heavily armed non-state groups in the world. It's estimated to have 10 times the military capability of Hamas, and most previous wars between Israel and Hezbollah have ended without a clear victory for either side.
