It should be noted that the Scud shipment has not changed the military balance as Hezbollah already possess long and medium range missiles and rockets which could go as far as Beersheba. However, the transfer bears a symbolic significance boosting the Shiite group’s confidence since the only bodies which hold surface-to-surface ballistic missiles are sovereign states.
