Inheriting the leadership of Hezbollah at just 32, Hassan Nasrallah swiftly escalated tensions with Israel through intensified military strikes and coordinated attacks on Israeli embassies abroad, marking a decisive turn in the group’s resistance strategy.
To understand this conflict, it’s important to look back at Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, which aimed to push out the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).
Although Israel succeeded in ousting the PLO, its actions inadvertently paved the way for Hezbollah’s rise, which quickly became a more formidable security threat.
Following Musawi’s death, Nasrallah made it clear that he was resolutely committed to amplifying Hezbollah’s resistance efforts, ensuring that the fight against Israel would endure without compromise.
