After the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers by Hezbollah, the Israeli regime launched its all-out attacks on southern Lebanon, and for the first time, both sides faced a heavy battle outside their borders. Therefore, the main goal of this research is to examine the 33-day battle with an emphasis on the principles of unequal warfare. Considering the nature of the subject, this research is of an applied type, which was carried out in a descriptive way. The data collection of this research is by field and library method, document study and interview and qualitative analysis. The four principles of unequal battles, which are "intelligence, surprise, unrepeatability, and relying on native equipment" in the intelligence component, were three indicators of intelligence in tactics, intelligence in using weapons, and intelligence in controlling the battle scene. It is counted and the element of surprise also has three indicators. "Surprise in time, surprise in place, and surprise in tactics" statistics, as well as non-repetition and relying on local equipment, were among the dimensions that were investigated alone. Data analysis shows that the indices calculated from the four principles of unequal battles were used during the 33-day war between Lebanon's Hezbollah and the Zionist regime.
