Jerusalem, Oct 08 (V7N) — A report by US Newsweek has highlighted growing insecurity within Israel's ruling establishment following the assassination of Lebanese Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah on September 27. While initially celebrated by the Zionist regime, the assassination is now seen as a potential catalyst for greater regional instability.
The article noted that although Nasrallah was known for his fiery rhetoric against Israel, he was also regarded as a prudent and pragmatic leader, carefully managing Hezbollah's resistance without escalating into a full-scale conflict. During the Gaza war, Nasrallah maintained restraint, ensuring that Lebanon remained largely outside the direct conflict with Israel.
According to Newsweek, the killing of Nasrallah may lead Hezbollah to intensify its military actions against Israel, with the movement now likely to engage in more destructive campaigns. The report cautioned that history has often shown the removal of a well-established leader can result in the rise of more radical and unpredictable successors.
The assassination is now raising concerns that Hezbollah, without Nasrallah’s cautious leadership, could move towards direct conflict, further destabilizing the already fragile Middle East.
The report concludes that Israel's security situation may be at greater risk following the assassination, as the region braces for the potential fallout.
