For Hezbollah, is the writing on the wall?

(Zac Weisz – GZero) Overnight, Israel’s military shifted part of its focus to a new front, one that isn’t Iran: it pummeled the Lebanese capital of Beirut with airstrikes, and issued more evacuation warnings across areas of the country controlled by the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah. “The objective is to disarm Hezbollah,” Nimrod Novik, a fellow at the Israel Policy Forum and former senior adviser to the late Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, told GZERO. The pretext came when Hezbollah – which is reportedly overseen now by members of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps – launched rockets and drones on Monday, in what was a meager strike. The militant group was itself under pressure from Iran to get involved in the conflict with the US and Israel, after an Israeli airstrike killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. – For Hezbollah, is the writing on the wall? – GZERO Media
