The leader of the Lebanese Shiite group Hezbollah, Hasan Nasrallahassured this Wednesday that its formation currently has more than 100 thousand fighters and revealed that several related movements have offered to send personnel to the Lebanon fight against Israel.
“We have far surpassed 100,000 fighters and we have more in Lebanon than the front needs, even in the worst conditions of a war” he claimed Nasrallah during a speech broadcast on television by related channels.

In this sense, he added that the leaders of the various regional formations “resistance” contact them to express your interest in sending members to the Lebanon and stated that Hezbollah declined the offers considering their ranks are large enough.
““We told them that what we have is enough, even more, for battle.”said the Shia cleric during his speech.
His statements occur between renewed fears of the outbreak of an open war between the Lebanese group and Israelafter the clashes that have occurred since October worsened in recent weeks and the Jewish state will increase the tone of its threats in this regard.
Hezbollah is part of an informal anti-Israel alliance led by Tehran known as Axis of Resistancewhose several members also maintain other fronts of support for the Palestinian Islamic movement Hamas in the context of war Link.
Many fear that the outbreak of war in Lebanon could lead to a regional escalation or at least to other Axis of Resistance members sending reinforcements to support Hezbollah in such a scenario.
Nasrallah had already guaranteed in 2021 that its ranks had reached the 100,000 membersalthough no one knows exactly how many components the formation has or the size of the weapons it has, although both are considered to be much larger than during the last war of 2006.
