How Israel went after Hezbollah’s chain of command – and why it matters

As huge air strikes levelled at least six buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut, it became clear that Israel was targeting Hezbollah’s headquarters.

What was not clear in the aftermath was whether Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader, was killed.

The huge bombing in Lebanon comes after a week of some of the most globally extensive air strikes of the 21st century, in what Israel has called Operation Northern Arrows – a campaign against Iran’s most formidable regional proxy.

The lead up to Friday’s attack was paved by a series of preliminary strikes to decapitate Hezbollah’s military leadership, cripple its subaltern class, destroy its ability to communicate meaningfully and spread panic through its ranks.
