If you want to see the effect of a ballistic missile to compare it with 
the things that Palestinians are throwing at Israelis, check out this 
clip. It shows what just one short range ballistic missile (Burkan) of 
Hezbollah two days back did to an Israeli military base in north Israel. 
Some interesting creature in Israel uploaded it to the media :)

Houthis were the ones who first designed and made these Burkans, 
probably beginning with a prototype from North Korea. Iran has had 
equivalent short range ones for at least two decades (first copied from 
North Korean type). I don't know if Hezbollah's stock of them is from 
Iran or Houthis, or perhaps even locally made.

Hezbollah is now an established militia of Lebanon and have both their 
government and popular backing, just like the militia in Iran (IRGC) and 
the Ansars of Yemen. Iraq and Syria also, each, have their own militia 
forces. It is a must to have when you're dealing with superpowers. 
Nothing else fully work! Regular military isn't designed to work well 
against superpowers but better be there for a range of other tasks. 
Militia, on the other hand, can work with or without a military force 
present. And it survives anything, because it cannot collapse like 
military can. The Fabric of the two are quite different.

So it should not sound strange that Hezbollah, now, be making all these 
defenses by their own. The years in which Iran's money was running them 
(paid as charity to their hospitals) are long over. These are now 
independent militias working for their respective countries, while 
having constructive relations with other militias in the region, and 
give and receive help from each other when necessary; i.e., creating 
another level of "militia" that works for the entire region.

Today, superpowers cannot win in the Middle East. They still can inflict 
harm, but they'll get harmed as well and will not win. Perhaps they 
haven't fully grasped this, but reality remains the reality regardless.
