Why Hezbollah refrains from using long-range missiles against Israel?

Hezbollah refrains from using long-range missiles against Israel for several strategic reasons:

Risk of Severe Retaliation: A large-scale missile attack could provoke a devastating Israeli response, threatening Hezbollah's infrastructure and leadership, especially after the assassination of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah
.
Preservation of Capabilities: Hezbollah aims to maintain its operational strength and avoid losing its missile arsenal to Israeli airstrikes, which have already targeted its capabilities
.
Political Considerations: Engaging in extensive missile strikes could alienate broader Lebanese support, as such actions might lead to widespread destruction and civilian casualties, undermining Hezbollah’s popularity beyond its Shiite base

These factors contribute to Hezbollah's cautious military posture despite its significant missile inventory.

But trying to reason with someone who refuses to see beyond their own beliefs? That’s like talking to a wall. No matter how much logic or truth you present, they will twist, deflect, or dismiss your words, not because you’re wrong, but because they’re unwilling to see another side. Maturity is...
