The analyst, Abdul Rahman Chehaitli, said that Israel should not underestimate the Lebanese army, because even though it has inadequate weapons, it has some of the most qualified servicemen, who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the country even if they have low salaries.
Chehaitli added that the Lebanese military has Hezbollah’s 100,000 fighters and arsenal of 150,000 rockets to back it up.
He made the comments in an interview which aired on July 11 on OTV and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). LISTEN
