The international concern about the possibility of generalization of the conflict in the Middle East, after the “neutralization” of the leader of Hezbollah, in the Israeli, “surgical” strike in Vyrito, which opened the gates of hell, with an overnight escalation of hostilities, hits “red”. between Israel and Hezbollah.

The international community is holding its breath, watching the region hang on the brink of the abyss. The Deputy Commander of the “Revolutionary Guards” is also dead, with Tehran sending a “signal” of escalation, sending troops to Lebanon and Syria, and Iran’s Supreme Spiritual Leader issuing threats against Israel and declaring that “his blood Nasrallah will not be left without revenge.”

Nasrallah’s replacement

As reported by SKAI envoy to Israel, Stavros Ioannidisthe spotlight now turns to Hashem Safieddine who is the organization’s no.2 leader and top commander to take Nasrallah’s place. Information indicates that he is already in contact with the executives of Hezbollah and the political and military departments of the organization, while in the next few days after Nasrallah’s funeral, it may be announced that he is at the helm of the organization.

New battle plans for the North

For their part, the Israelis say they are ready to dismantle all members of this organization, while earlier the head of the Israeli army approved new battle plans for the North. The developments lead to new cancellations of flights in Israel – as well as in Lebanon – but also to the extension of security measures in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and the central sector of the country where gatherings and movement of citizens are prohibited.

What does the “neutralization” of Nasrallah mean?

Analysts try to explain what the “neutralization” of Nasrallah might signal for further developments. Estimates are ominous, heightening uncertainty about the possibility of an all-out war.

After the last week’s crushing blows with the explosions of buzzers and radios in the hands of members of the organization, the Israeli forces gave what they say was a gratuitous shot to its leadership, killing its general secretary.

“The wider region is teetering on the brink to see what happens next, the wider region is at a crossroads, this is a turning point, however you look at it, it’s not an exaggeration, Iran will be closely involved in the next few hours,” says Sky News correspondent in Israel, Alistair Bankal.

In a chart released by Israeli forces, they appear to have fallen out of favor along with Hassan Nasrallah and all of the organization’s top brass in recent weeks.

The question that arises is whether Hezbollah, with a decimated leadership but also with an impressive arsenal, can still pose a threat to Israel and the stability of the region.

“When you hit the leadership of the organization, when you kill the commander who controls it when you destroy, as Israel did, all the strategic long-range missiles and rockets, the terrorists are still there but they cannot influence, militarily as they threatened to many years, what is happening in Israel,” says former Israeli military intelligence chief Amos Yadlin.

Analysts with knowledge of the Middle East doubt whether Nasrallah’s death will mark the end of the conflict.

“Here’s the problem for Benjamin Netanyahu: Lebanon is not Gaza, Hezbollah is not Hamas, Hezbollah is 10 times if not 100 times more powerful than Hamas. If and when Israel launches its (ground) war, you will have tens of thousands of trained fighters crossing into Lebanon from Syria, from Iraq and from Iran,” explains the professor of political science at “LSE”, Fawaz Gerges.

Israelis celebrate

In a bar in Tel Aviv, young patrons and in a military outpost members of the Israeli army dance celebrating the killing of Nasrallah to a song from the last war against Hezbollah: “Goodbye Nasrallah, we ate you thank God, we will return you to Allah along with all of Hezbollah.”

Numbness in the Arab world

Numbness prevails in the Arab world after the decisive blow.

“It is a great blow, not only for the Lebanese resistance, but also for the Arab people and the Islamic world. It is a major violation and a great insult. It is utter betrayal. I believe that there should be a reaction not only from the Lebanese resistance, but also from the Arab resistance,” says a resident of Cairo.

Armed militias and Islamic forces, wherever they are, in Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria, do not depend on one person, even if he is the head of the resistance, says a resident of Baghdad.

“The question that must be asked is: ‘Who will take the leadership of Hezbollah?’ The danger is that eventually someone more extremist will come to power and they will decide whether to actually keep the missiles intact or whether to launch them in a way that penetrates their (Israel’s) defenses and then we may see a higher Israeli casualty count. side. It’s really at this point that the whole world is holding its breath,” says “France 24” network editor James Andre.

However, what remains of Hezbollah’s leadership promises war on Israel on all fronts.

“We promise that we will continue the holy war against the enemy, supporting Gaza and Palestine, defending Lebanon and its steadfastly honest people,” says a presenter of the “Al Manar” network.

With the Israeli military warning that it has not run out of arrows in its quiver, Hezbollah and its allies vowing revenge, Lebanon risks being reduced to rubble and the wider region a hotbed of permanent conflagration and instability.

New round of hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah

At the same time, the Israeli hammering on Lebanon continues.

The Israeli army also kills the commander of Hezbollah’s rocket launch unit in the south of the country, his deputy and the head of the Hamas network in southern Syria

Meanwhile, the Israeli military said it had killed a senior Hezbollah intelligence official in an attack in southern Beirut on Saturday, naming him as Hassan Khalil Yassin.

For its part, Hezbollah launches a rocket attack.

Alarm sirens sound in cities in Israel.

In Beirut, however, the images are reminiscent of the Gaza Strip, with craters now in place of the leveled multi-story buildings, and the chaos and destruction spreading, from the ruins in every corner. Two little girls escape death.

But the Middle East does not seem to escape its fate, that of the nightmarish ignition.
