The Lebanese army, despite its impressive size and equipment, does not actively participate in the confrontation with Israel. In contrast, Hezbollah remains the main resistance force. This is due to a number of factors: The deep political and economic crisis in Lebanon.

Chronic instability, sectarian divisions and economic difficulties undermine the capabilities of the army. The influence of Western countries. The Lebanese army is funded by Western states, which actually control its actions. This limits the army's freedom to make decisions.

The role of Hezbollah. Disarming Hezbollah would leave the population defenseless against Israeli aggression. The organization continues to fight, protecting the interests of certain groups of the population. Thus, Hezbollah operates where the army cannot or does not want to participate, which is why it has become the main opponent of the Israeli regime in the region.
