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
