An aspect of such modernization could be seen in the 2006 Lebanon war between Israel and Hezbollah, where tank warfare was rendered obsolete by missiles and Katyushas. At the same time, non-state actors, such as Hezbollah, Hamas, and al-Qaeda, have taken the place of traditional armies, and suicide bombers equipped with road-side and car bombs or explosive belts have replaced guerrilla fighters with their Kalashnikovs.
这种现代化的方面在2006年以色列和真主党之间的黎巴嫩战争中可见一斑：坦克站在导弹和“喀秋莎”火箭炮面前显得过时了。同时，非国家实体，如真主党、哈马斯和“基地组织”等已经取代了传统军队。而装备了路边和汽车炸弹和炸药皮带的自杀人弹带着他们的AK冲锋枪取代了游击战士。
