Israel announced that they had killed Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, in an attack on a suburb of southern Beirut. Nasrallah had led the Iran-backed group for three decades and was known for his powerful influence in the Middle East, with Hezbollah’s arsenal of weapons and involvement in regional conflicts. Born into a poor Shiite family, Nasrallah joined Hezbollah in 1982 and rose to become the group’s secretary-general. Under his leadership, Hezbollah fought against Israel, leading to conflicts and a cease-fire in 2006. Israel’s attack on Nasrallah and Hezbollah’s headquarters has raised concerns about escalating tensions in the region, with fears of retaliation. Lebanese and Israeli leaders have returned from the U.N. General Assembly following the attack, and Washington is pushing for a cease-fire to prevent further conflict. While the Biden administration was unaware of Israel’s plans, they may seek to restrain Israel’s actions. The situation remains tense, with the possibility of a ground invasion of Lebanon. Experts caution against traditional military approaches and stress the need to address Hezbollah’s military capabilities to prevent further escalation.
