Israel-Hezbollah War: Recently, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah was killed in a successful Israeli military operation, which not only shook the command of a terrorist organization, but also affected the terrorism scenario in the Middle East. Israel had obtained information about Nasrallah's whereabouts for the past several months, and Operation 'New Order' was planned against him. 80 tons of gunpowder and more than 60 bunker buster bombs were used in this operation, which destroyed the entire command chain of Hezbollah.Nasrallah's elimination: How did all this happen?Hasan Nasrallah was eliminated in just 11 seconds, in which 9 explosions took place. During this, the Israeli army used bunker buster bombs, which are a very accurate and effective weapon. These bombs not only killed Nasrallah, but also destroyed many buildings of Hezbollah. This operation proved how strong the information of Israeli intelligence agencies was.Next leader: Hashem SafieddinNow the question arises, who will replace Nasrallah? Nasrallah's cousin Hashem Safieddin is at the forefront of this race. Hashem, who has emerged as an important leader of Hezbollah for the last three decades, manages the financial and operational affairs of the organization. He is believed to have escaped this attack and now his chances have increased. Hashem Safieddin was declared a terrorist by the US in 2017, and he has a strong hold among Hezbollah fighters.Israeli Operation 'New Order'Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the green signal for the elimination of Nasrallah, after which Operation 'New Order' was started. Under this operation, Israel attacked Hezbollah's bases from three sides, in which many buildings were razed to the ground. The impact of this attack was so tremendous that even the buildings located 30 kilometers away from Beirut were shaken.Is Hezbollah finished?Although Nasrallah's death has dealt a blow to Hezbollah, it would be premature to say that the organization is finished. Hezbollah has a strong network, and it can regroup under the leadership of a leader like Hashem Safieddine.Hezbollah's future direction is currently being monitored, as Nasrallah's death has led to the need to reshape their internal and external strategies. Now it will be interesting to see what Hezbollah's next strategy is and whether it will be able to regain its strength.
