Nasrallah Made Assumptions about Israel that Cost Him His Life
(Jerusalem Post) Amir Bohbot - Following the events of Oct. 7, Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah tied Hizbullah's fate to Hamas in Gaza and launched a war. He believed Israel would not expand the war against Hizbullah or launch a ground offensive in Lebanon as long as the IDF was still fighting in Gaza. After Israeli airstrikes on Hizbullah's military capabilities in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley, Nasrallah relocated them to Beirut, mistakenly believing that American and European pressure would protect Beirut. But concentrating them in Beirut made it easier for the IDF to strike them. Moreover, Nasrallah managed the war against Israel with an extremely centralized approach, which required his physical presence at Hizbullah's command centers, making his elimination all the more impactful.
