Could Israel’s elimination of Hezbollah’s leaders reshape the landscape of power in the Middle East? Matthew Levitt, Director of the Washington Institute's Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, answers that pressing question, discusses the impact of Israel's recent offensive against Hezbollah, following the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and analyzes the ongoing military operations on the Israel-Lebanon border.

On September 27, the Israel Defense Forces launched a massive airstrike targeting Hezbollah’s headquarters in Lebanon. Senior Hezbollah officials, including Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, were killed in the attack. The death of Nasrallah marks a significant blow to Hezbollah, which has already lost almost all of its top leadership to counterterrorism operations conducted by Israeli forces in recent weeks. Since October 8, Hezbollah has escalated its attacks on Israel, launching barrages of rockets, drones, and mortar shells on a near-daily basis – more than 10,000 to date.

When I arrived in Buenos Aires earlier this month to observe the 30th anniversary of the bombing of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) building, it was a ritual that had become all too familiar.

While Israel is actively engaged in holding the October 7 perpetrators accountable, Argentina’s Jewish community and all of society are waiting for answers.

Justice delayed is justice denied. And for 30 years, the Jewish community in Argentina has been waiting for justice.

The Gaza Strip is a 141-square-mile Palestinian enclave located near Israel’s southwestern tip. After the Israeli withdrawal in 2005, the coastal territory has been under the control of the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group. Hamas has launched several significant attacks against Israel from its base in Gaza, including in 2008, 2009, 2014, 2021, and most recently the Israel-Hamas War on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists murdered over 1,200 Israelis, wounded over 12,000, took 134 hostages, and thousands of rockets.

At 6:30 a.m. on October 7, 2023, Hamas, the Iran-backed terror group controlling Gaza, launched an unprovoked and vicious surprise attack on over 20 communities in Israel. Using rockets, paragliders, boats, motorcycles, other vehicles, and whatever other means they could, terrorists infiltrated the Jewish state and waged the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Since October 7, more than 1,300 Israelis have been killed. Terrorists are still holding 132 men, women, and children in captivity.
