Israel’s army is one of the most dangerous in the world, and it is one of the few countries with nuclear weapons and its military technology is one of the most advanced in the world.
Among their heavy weapons they have more than 1,300 tanks, some 10,000 armored vehicles and 2,000 mortars of different calibers.
But its main asset is the air: it is the tenth military power in the world and in its possession they have more than 300 combat aircraft. Added to these are the drone squads that the Israeli army has already used in its harsh response in the Gaza Strip.
The ranks of the Israelis are made up of more than 187,000 soldiers. That, with regard to their regular army, because they also have reservists since military service is mandatory for almost the entire population there.
With the 300,000 mobilized this last week, there are almost half a million soldiers, in a population of nine million people.
Its crown jewel is the Iron Dome. The Israeli air defense system that shoots down hundreds of missiles in a few seconds and that in recent days has managed to shoot down almost all the rockets launched by Hamas.
Although some rockets have reached Israeli infrastructure, the system is 95% effective.
