Comparison of military strength between Palestine and Israel
According to a report released by the Center for Strategic Studies of Tel Aviv University on the 8th, Israel's main military forces are: at present, the Defence Force has 2,800 tanks, 700 planes and thousands of artillery pieces, with a staffing of 600,000 people, including 0.8 million active servicemen and 420,000 reservists. The equipment of the Israeli army is also very modern, with advanced conventional weapons. Not long ago, the world's first Arrow anti-ballistic missile defense system was deployed. In addition, it is reported that Israel is the only country in the Middle East that possesses nuclear weapons.

According to the relevant agreements reached between Palestine and Israel, there is no army in Palestine at present, and its military strength is mainly two police forces, one to maintain public order in the Palestinian autonomous region, and the other to exercise the functions of the army on the edge of the autonomous region, * * *16,000. Their main weapons are light weapons such as cassette submachine guns, but there are also some armored personnel carriers without guns; Pakistan's armed forces have no air force, and only a few planes are used for leaders' visits and rescue. The navy of hundreds of people has only a few gunboats, so it is only symbolic.

In addition, as the main sponsor of Palestine, the Lebanese army has a total strength of about 40,000 people, including 36,000 troops, 270 tanks and more than 300 guns. The air force and navy are small in scale, and their weapons and equipment are seriously aging.

Syria's military strength is far stronger than Lebanon's. At present, it has about 500,000 troops, including 3 tank divisions, 500 aircraft and more than 2,000 artillery pieces. However, these Soviet weapons are seriously aging and lack of spare parts, which has affected the combat effectiveness of the Syrian army.
