Hezbollah's Nightmare - Israeli Strikes Overwhelm Top Iranian Proxy
Preston Stewart
Sep 24, 2024
Israel's air campaign is proving too much for Hezbollah, but they still have a few options left.
Lebanese Hezbollah is in the middle of one of the worst ten day stretches in the group's history. After going back and forth with Israel since October 8th, the pressure began to mount in July when a senior leader was eliminated and the Hezbollah response was almost entirely thwarted. Since they, Israel has increased pressure on the group in the hopes that they stop attacks into Israeli territory. In the past ten days we've seen a cover operation targeting Hezbollah pagers, assassinations of key officials and now the targeted bombing of Hezbollah military facilities across southern Lebanon. The coming days and weeks will tell us if Hezbollah is in fact on the brink of collapse, if they decide to lash out with their long range missiles, and if Iran comes to their rescue.
