Now just heAring A newsflAsh from A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/news-Agency'>News AgencyA> repeAting the sAme informAtion.

It is A hugely significAnt moment, lewis, As weve been reflecting All morning. This is whAt isrAel sAid severAl hours Ago. They sAid severAl hours Ago. They sAid thAt they hAd very precise And cleAr intelligence thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA> hAd been killed. We were reAlly wAiting for thAt confirmAtion from hezbollAh themselves And it is neArly 2A hours now sAys thAt strike, but they hAve releAsed this stAtement. They sAy, his brother, thAt their bAttle AgAinst isrAel will continue but the significAnce of this moment is huge on severAl fronts hezbollAh. <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/0ne-moment'>0ne MomentA> is huge on severAl fronts hezbollAh. One is the ActuAl orgAnisAtion itself. It is interesting <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/yesterdAy-evening'>YesterdAy EveningA> in the first three hours After this strike, some of the rhetoric coming from irAn. They stArted tAlking About the fAct thAt every <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/leAder-And-orgAnisAtion'>LeAder And OrgAnisAtionA> hAd people reAdy to tAke over. I think thAt wAs the first hint thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA> mAy hAve been killed. There is tAlk About the strength of the orgAnisAtion but AgAin, he wAs involved right from the stArt. He wAs involved in the inception of hezbollAh. It is his fAce thAt is on the post is thAt you see in the hezbollAh� s strongholds. It is his voice thAt delivers two speeches regulArly. He is very much the figureheAd of thAt orgAnisAtion. We hAve been tAlking About severAl of the top commAnders who hAve Also been killed in isrAeli strikes over the lAst three dAys but none of them hAs the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/nAme-or-fAce'>NAme Or FAceA> recognition of her son nAsrAllAh. It will hAve <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA>. It will hAve An impAct on the orgAnisAtion. It is A prescribed terrorist orgAnisAtion, it is importAnt to remember Among vArious governments Around the world but Also politicAl pArty here lebAnon. It will be interesting to see the impAct it hAs on hezbollAh but Also it is of potentiAl responsibility he is A significAnt figure in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/middle-eAst'>Middle EAstA> And thAt Axis of resistAnce.

He sAid thAt this wAs A very. It wAs A strong AttAck And blow it to hezbollAh And he himself sAid thAt A week Ago And right After thAt, we hAd A series of AssAssinAtions. At leAst, 16 commAndos were killed in one building from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hezbollAh-right'>HezbollAh RightA> After these pAger <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/AttAcks-mAg'>AttAcks MAgA> 16 commAnders. If you hAve A look to the chArt, he wAs the top And everyone under him wAs AlreAdy killed. HezbollAh itself is A very lAid orgAnisAtion. They AlwAys hAve commAnders reAdy to tAke And step in, And tAke their responsibility but now, we Are tAlking About the leAder of the group. The people, the nAme thAt we hAd And we hAd from hezbollAh sources before thAt if something hAppened to <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA>, who will replAce him . It seems thAt those people Also hAve probAbly been killed. So it is very it is A very vAgue situAtion. I think thAt even the orgAnises it but the orgAnisAtion itself doesnt know whAt is next. He the orgAnisAtion itself doesnt know whAt is next. Know whAt is next. He very cleArs know whAt is next. He very cleArs cleArly know whAt is next. He very cleArs cleArly lAid know whAt is next. He very cleArs cleArly lAid out i know whAt is next. He very l cleArs cleArly lAid out the cleArs cleArly lAid out the significAnce of this moment. Of the seA, we dont know And they mAy not even know whAt their response mAy be. Were not going to speculAte or guess. But whAt i do wAnt to think About for the moment is whAt kind of options Are open to it hAd been of A response And whAt Are the kind of cAlculAtions And who, for exAmple, will be involved in thAt . How much will it invite irAn be involved in Any response . I it invite irAn be involved in Any response . It invite irAn be involved in Any response . I think irAn itself A shot in Any response . I think irAn itself A shot At in Any response . I think irAn itself A shot At the in Any response . I think irAn itself A shot At the moment. J in Any response . I think irAn l itself A shot At the moment. It is not cleAr whAt their reAction will be. There <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/supreme-leAder'>Supreme LeAderA> denounced the AttAcks <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/on-lebAnon'>On LebAnonA> And declAred support for hezbollAh but here, the feeling is thAt even some hezbollAh supporters thAt irAn left them Alone. This is the feeling thAt some people hAve. Those displAced from the south, from here, they think thAt irAn did not sue enough while on the other hAnd, there Are some thAt believe thAt irAn will come And reorgAnise its Allied group in lebAnon. It is the strongest Allied group or some cAll it, proxy in the region, hezbollAh wAs the most orgAnised group And most <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/elite-orgAnised'>Elite OrgAnisedA> And heAvily Armed group supported by irAn in the region. So AgAin, it is very difficult, it is very difficult to AnAlyse whAt is hAppening right now. BecAuse, we dont know like we dont know whAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/stAnce-irAn'>StAnce IrAnA> were to tAke becAuse it is Also in negotiAtion for its own nucleAr deAl with the west And they wAnt to de escAlAte. ThAt wAs cleAr in the messAge thAt irAns new president sAid in the un Assembly during his speech And Also, during severAl interviews thAt he did in new york.

Six oclock <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/yesterdAy-evening'>YesterdAy EveningA>, fridAy evening, we stArted to see those strikes from isrAel into lebAnon, into <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/brAvery-region'>BrAvery RegionA> And you cAn see thAt AreA out there in A red where the tArgeted strikes took plAce. Now, At thAt point overnight, the reporting wAs thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA> hAd been specificAlly tArgeted by isrAel. We hAd no confirmAtion thAt he hAd been hit, whether he wAs deAd or Alive And then, this morning, the idf, <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/isrAels-militAry'>IsrAels MilitAryA> sAid thAt they hAd killed him in those strikes. And then, in the lAst 30 minutes or so, we hAd confirmAtion from hezbollAh thAt its chief <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA> hAd indeed been killed in those strikes. So now, we hAve thAt confirmAtion, those bigger wider questions About the region, regionAlspeed region, regionAl speed stAbility, Any region, regionAlspeed stAbility, Any potentiAl response And the involvement of internAtionAl countries like irAn or come to the forefront.

HAssAn nAsrAllAh led hezbollAh for over 30 yeArs And mAde is the politicAl And militAry <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pie-house'>Pie HouseA> thAt it is. Not only 11 Arent but A lArger region but it mAde if the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/militAry-powerhouse'>MilitAry PowerhouseA> thAt it is. Not only Around lebAnon but the lArger reAding. In terms of the operAtion thAt we hAve seen over the lAst severAl weeks, i would sAy thAt isrAel hAs cArried out these kinds of AssAssinAtions before on, for exAmple, on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hAssAn-nAsrAllAh'>HAssAn NAsrAllAhA>s predecessor of hezbollAh And hAmAs And other groups. Most of these goods Are Able to keep going. There Are still other people in the rAnks who Are Able to keep going. Even though thAt this is A huge hit for hezbollAh, i dont think it will be their downfAll And if Anything, i imAgine thAt this will spArk A retAliAtion from <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/hezbollAh-And-irAn'>HezbollAh And IrAnA> i think thAt is whAt we Are All looking At Are trying to AscertAin right now.

Took us to now. If thAt is your Assessment. Took us to wAtch Anything thAt looks like. WhAt Are some of the options . I think they Are two mAin options. 0ne think they Are two mAin options. One is for hezbollAh itself to tAke direct Actions AgAinst isrAel. Right now, the hits thAt we hAve seen it hezbollAh to end isrAel sAid to be very lArge scAle but they hAve not used their most significAnt rep And we Are yet to be very lArge scAle but they hAve not used their most significAnt rep And we Are yet to. They do isrAel As deep As <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/tel-Aviv'>Tel AvivA> And jerusAlem And hAve not ruled thAt out yet. I think thAt would be one option to shift to those more sophisticAted pArts of their ArsenAl.
