Problem is that they're under S400 protection, as all the missiles they stocked in Lebanon. Putin will unlikely let us strike at them.

Like I said, the IAF is going to really enjoy the target practices. It will be interesting to see picture of "before" & "after".
6. Hezbollah is the Lebanese Army

"Hezbollah now has capabilities usually only national militaries have."...since Hezbollah have standing in the Lebanese Government, Hezbollah weapons are Lebanese army weapons.
7. its target practise for the IAF

For a terror group like Hezbollah in a war with Israel the worst thing to use is armoured vehicles because without air cover tanks are sitting ducks for fighter jets and the M113 and Soviet era armour are not famed for protecting their passengers. For Hezbollah the ATVS with Kornets are much better vehicles because they are small and fast and the Kornet is a threat to all modern tanks. I just hope they invest more in their heavy armour than they do in things like the ATVS. Time to stop giving any weapons to the Lebanese army ground forces who are no match for Hezbollah give the air force a few 50 year old bits of junk which are easy picking for the IAF but good in a ground attack role against Hezbollah who are the main threat to Lebanon for both Israel and national stability.

Putin can move his missiles easy enough if they are at risk and he is not going to waste missiles protecting Hezbollah he has them there to protect Assad. Putin is not so stupid he wants to drag Israel into this conflict because even without air power if the IDF sent ground forces into Syria or used missiles fired from land and sea unless Putin wanted to get involved in a full scale war it would just be to much for Assad's forces if he is up against even a weakened IDF, ISIS and the rebels If Hezbollah went a war with Israel from Lebanon to attack Putin doesn't care because they are not Russian allies so he doesn't care what Israel does to them. For Israel its actually good if Hezbollah start investing in antique heavy armour because without air cover tanks and APCS with their crew inside are all sitting ducks are all target practise for the airforce and Soviet ere T-72 tanks and the M113 are no match for Merkavas the more Hezbollah armoured vehicles destroyed by the IDF the more dead terrorists. The tanks & M113 are probably not even very good for launching Kornets because they are not fast and agile so will probably be destroyed before they can fire the missile and if they miss they are easy to kill before they can launch more missiles.
