THIS FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER One of the most military assets of the axis of resistance has been annihilated. Built up over so many years, the killing of Nasrallah, was a huge blow to Hezbollah. The veteran leader guided the militant organization in Lebanon for more than three decades, that Iran

helped build as a potent regional military power armed with extensive arsenal of missiles, rockets and drones. This militia, one of the most heavily armed nonstate forces in the world, with its thousands of fighters, was a state inside state. Iran has long forged strategic proxies as Hamas in Gaza,

Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and other militias in Iraq and Syria. After Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, Hezbollah hit Israel and vowed to fight until Israeli forces ended their assaults against Hamas. Now, Israel is striking Shiite militia targets across Lebanon (NYT, The Observer).

ISRAEL'S ENDLESS WAR Plumes of smoke rose from the most powerful Israel's attack in Beirut, on Friday. After multiple blasts, six buildings were reduced to rubble in Dahieh, Hezbollah's stronghold. Using bunker buster, a munition designed to penetrate deep underground,aimed to hit Hezbollah leader

Hassan Nasrallah. At least two people have been killed and 76 injured but, according to a source told REUTERS, Nasrallah was alive. After Hamas' Oct.7 assault Hezbollah and Israeli military have been traded fire almost daily, forcing the displacement of tens of thousands of people on both side of

the border. Since Monday, Israel has increased its operations, killing nearly 700 people, in order to inflict heavy damage on Hezbollah's weapons capabilities and fighters. In his speech at the UN, Netanyahu vowed to defeat this strong-armed group in Lebanon (REUTERS, BBC, abcNEWS, CBS).
