Israeli Occupation Forces not ready militarily to engage in a war with Hezbollah and capabilities have distinctly decreased

Israeli Occupation Forces not ready militarily to engage in a war with Hezbollah and capabilities have distinctly decreased, the Israeli newspaper Maariv said in a report.

The paper quoted high-ranking Israeli army officers as saying that the Zionist entity cannot engage in a war with Hezbollah anytime soon.

The officers expressed concern over the decline in military equipment, malfunction and obstructions impeding their involvement in any upcoming military action citing that that the level of competence and efficiency had declined as military exercisers have been lessened.

Israeli soldiers complained that the Humvees used in patrols along the Lebanese border are non-armored and lack protection, the Israeli paper said. They pointed out that authorities have been stepping-down expenses on the IOF.

The soldiers expressed fear that the IDF capabilities are similar to those in 2006 and even worse.
