Overview

• Hezbollah is using anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) as a key tool in managing the ongoing conflict with Israel, utilizing them to target military posts, vehicles, and, more recently, civilian settlements.
• The Lebanese organization has expanded its line of fire beyond military targets, launching rockets towards the town of Rosh Pina, marking the longest-range attack since the start of the conflict.
• Hezbollah's anti-tank missiles, demonstrated in online videos, notably include Kornet missiles fired from newly-acquired double-barrel launchers and updated, tandem-warhead versions of AT-3 Sagger missiles; the double-barrel launchers enable rapid, consecutive firing, posing a significant threat to armored vehicles.
• Hezbollah is suspected to be preparing for an invasion of Israel, as they have been steadily trying to draw the country into a war while managing their level of involvement to avoid full-scale aggression.
• Israeli defense responded to the attacks by strategically thwarting Hezbollah squads before they could open fire and launching assaults on Hezbollah’s positions in Lebanon; however, a reliance on armored forces is not envisioned in potential combat against Hezbollah, with the bulk of the fighting likely to be carried out by light infantry, air force, and other means.
