As of this writing, we do not yet know the status of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, but we do know that a massive Israeli airstrike targeting his headquarters on Friday found its mark. If Nasrallah has joined his fellow terrorists in the great beyond, he will find himself in voluminous company.
The Israeli response to the firing of over 8,000 Hezbollah rockets into Israel since the October 7 massacre — a barrage that forced tens of thousands of Israelis from their homes, functionally rendering vast swaths of Israeli territory unlivable — has been a long time coming. And when it finally came, it was astoundingly successful. In the campaign of highly discriminating airstrikes and covert sabotage operations that began on September 17 with the detonation of thousands of Hezbollah pagers, hundreds of Hezbollah fighters and well over a dozen of its high-ranking operatives have been taken off the battlefield.
