Hezbollah does much more posturing than actual fighting, but if we use the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War as an example for the tactics used by the paramilitary arm of Hezbollah we can see several general types of tactics. The primary means that they use to "attack" are raids on target facilities or positions and imprecise missile launches into enemy cities (often resulting exclusively in civilian casualties). Hezbollah never engages in forwards assaults or open marches. The majority of Hezbollah encounters with the enemy are defensive. They hide in civilian Lebanese villages, commandeer civilians' homes, and fight in plainclothes. Their primary strategy is to manipulate the Rules of Engagement in their favor. What this means is that they know that the Israeli military has strict orders to not fire on enemy civilians, so they use them and their property as cover. It is a particularly sickening idea to value the death of your enemy over the lives of the civilians you live with, but this is the core aspect of the Hezbollah Paramilitary policy.

How many hezbollah called israel soldiers?

Who is stronger hezbollah or israel?
It entirely depends on how you define "strength". The Israeli Army is certainly much better armed than Hezbollah and while Israel has invaded Lebanon in ground invasions, Hezbollah has never attempted a ground invasion of Israel. Hezbollah has no army that could contest Israel in traditional international combat (such as was seen during World War II for example). However, Hezbollah's effectiveness lies in its ability to blend into local areas and put its men into locations not easily discoverable to Israeli soldiers. This was why the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War has usually been seen as a stalemate or slight Hezbollah victory even though all fighting occurred in Lebanon and Hezbollah incurred many more casualties; Israel was not able to remove Hezbollah from Lebanon as it had previously been able to remove the PLO from Lebanon in 1982. However, to me, strength is about the idea to form a society where people desire peace and love in their lives even when their neighbors try to act divisively. In this way, Israel is clearly stronger. Regardless of any particular Israeli government, the leadership of the Israeli Army is disinclined from international conflict and openly differs to a civilian government that wants long-term peace (whose conditions vary with the politics of the day). Hezbollah has made clear that they are wholly disinterested in any peace or settlement, saying in their organizational charter that even if all of the Islamic countries made peace with Israel (including a future Palestine), they would continue to fight to oppose Israel.

Can Hezbollah invade Israel?
Answer 1Yes, they can as they have many allies throughout the middle east and Israel does not know where the headquarters are.Answer 2There are two parts to that question: 1) Can Hezbollah breach Israel's borders? and 2) If they can do this, can they sustain this breach?1) Yes. Hezbollah proved that it can breach Israeli defenses when they kidnapped the Israeli soldiers Regev and Goldwasser. This, however, was a coordinated attack with months of planning as opposed to a morning jaunt. Hezbollah needs to use a concerted effort to breach Israeli defenses.2) No. Hezbollah showed in the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War, that Hezbollah is an insurgent fighting group. Such a group can only fight a defensive war, not an offensive one that requires occupation of hostile territory. Hezbollah requires loyal allies to live in the territory to be invaded. Israelis (whether Jewish or Arab) have no love of Hezbollah and this would require the army to fight out in the open where the Israeli army is much more effective. It is telling that during the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that the only attacks perpetrated within Israeli borders were missile attacks as opposed to military raids or direct combat. As concerns Hezbollah's allies, Iran, for all of its bluster, is not willing to expend military troops to bolster the regime of Bashar al-Assad (a regime it still financially backs) while Syria is in the midst of a civil war that Iran could effectively end. How much less is Iran interested in assisting an invasion of a country that has a far stronger military capability and where it has no internal allies.
