Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah as a pivotal moment in restoring Israel's military dominance and addressing the ongoing conflict with Hezbollah and Hamas.
The assassination, which has not yet been confirmed by Hezbollah, comes amid escalating violence between Israel and Lebanon, with continued Israeli airstrikes. Netanyahu claims the operation 'settled the score' with Hezbollah, but concerns remain about the group's ability to retaliate, given its significant arsenal of rockets and drones.
The move is seen as an attempt to rebuild public trust in the Israeli Defense Forces after recent security lapses.
