The Biggest Questions After Israel’s Killing of Hezbollah’s Leader

Slate  

With Israel’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, the wars in the Middle East have hit a turning point—though it’s hard to say what direction they’ll now take: toward some uneasy equilibrium or an escalation in the fighting. In other words, in the course of one week, through a combination of attacks, some of them planned over the past several years, Israel not only killed Hezbollah’s leader but severely injured many of its fighters and weakened Hezbollah itself as a military force—and perhaps an effective political organization. Hezbollah has been the main spoke on Iran’s “axis of resistance,” a network of terrorist militias—including Hamas, the Houthis, Palestinian Islamic Jihad—that have served as Tehran’s proxies in various Middle Eastern conflicts against Sunni Arab countries and especially against Israel. The prime minister—whose ruling coalition holds the barest minority in Israel’s parliament and who has provoked mass protests by his failure to negotiate a cease-fire in Gaza that would free the 100-plus Israeli hostages who remain under Hamas’ control—has seen a spurt in popularity since the decimation of Hezbollah. As Robin Lustig, a former longtime Middle East correspondent, noted in his Substack on Monday, Nasrallah became Hezbollah’s leader after his predecessor, Abbas al-Musawi, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.
