Inside Story
The region braces for further attacks after Israel’s killing of Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut.
Hezbollah is still reeling from the killing of its longtime leader Hassan Nasrallah.
As the group mourns his death and weighs its options, Israel has carried out more strikes, killing another of Hezbollah’s top leaders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argues that Nasrallah’s assassination will reshape the balance of power in the Middle East.
And he has warned Iran, Hezbollah’s main supporter, that Israel’s military can strike anywhere in the region that it needs.
Tehran has promised retaliation, saying Israel will regret its actions.
But beyond words, what does this mean for an already volatile region?
