Middle East Againwas not at the centre of global attention after the death of Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, as a consequence of an Israeli raid on Beirut. This tragic event sparked reactions in the region, and Iranian Parliament president Mohammed Bagher Kalibaf announced further opposition to Israel. In this analysis we will look at details of the attack, reactions in the region and the possible consequences of this event.
Attack on Beirut – What happened?
On Friday, as a consequence of a massive Israeli raid on the capital of Lebanon, Beirut, Hassan Nasrallah, leader of Hezbollah, was killed and led by this Lebanese organization for 32 years. The attack was 1 of the most intense in fresh times and caused crucial harm in the Haret Hreik district, where at least 7 buildings were destroyed. Al-Manar television, associated with Hezbollah, reported that more than 15 missiles fell into the area. respective another commanders, including Ali Karaki, commander of the South Front, were killed with Nasrallah.
Reactions of Iran and another armed groups
This attack was immediately reacted by Mohammed Bagher Calibaf, president of the Iranian Parliament, who announced that Iran and the opposition groups would proceed to fight against Israel. Calibaf stressed that Iran would proceed to support the anti-Israeli alliance, including groups specified as Hamas, Hezbollah, Lebanon, Huti, Yemen, as well as various Shiite armed groups operating in Iraq and Syria.
In a akin tone, the Iranian abroad Minister, Abbas Araghchi, said that Israel would “not rest” and that the attack on Nasrallah would not stay unanswered. This announcement raises questions about the future of the region and possible escalation of the conflict.
Ongoing Israeli raids on Lebanon
As of 23 September, Israeli air force has conducted intense raids in Lebanon. More than 700 people have already died as a consequence of these actions and about half a million residents have been forced to leave their homes. Israel justifies these activities as operations aimed at Hezbollah's infrastructure and fighters to undermine their combat potential. This operation of military force on Hezbollah is another phase in the conflict between Israel and the Lebanese organization over the years.
The function of Hezbollah and Hassan Nasrallah
Hezbollah is recognised by many countries, including the US, Israel and any European countries, as a terrorist organization. However, in the region it is seen as a strength of opposition to Israeli presence. For over 3 decades Hassan Nasrallah led Hezbollah, shaping it as a powerful military and political organization in Lebanon. His death may origin crucial changes in the structure of this organization, but it is unclear whether this will lead to a weakening of it or to an increase in action against Israel.
Consequences for the mediate East
Nasrallah's death and Israeli raids in Lebanon may lead to further destabilisation of the region. There is simply a hazard that these events will trigger retaliation attacks by Hezbollah and another armed groups supported by Iran. We can anticipate increased action at Israel's borders with Lebanon, as well as greater activity of armed groups in another parts of the region, specified as the Gaza Strip and Yemen.
Will Iran intensify its action?
Statements by Iranian leaders propose that Iran can take more decisive action against Israel, utilizing its allied groups in the region. Iran appears to be seeking to consolidate its alliances in order to exert force on Israel and compensate for Nasrallah's loss.
Summary
Hassan Nasrallah's death in an Israeli raid is an event that could have far-reaching consequences for the full region. Iran's reactions and another opposition groups indicate possible tensions and escalation of the conflict. The mediate East faces another period of uncertainty and the global community will gotta follow developments closely to prevent the crisis from getting worse.
The Israeli-Iran conflict and Hezbollah actions stay 1 of the most complicated and dangerous disputes in the mediate East. As the situation develops, the region appears to be facing further challenges and violence.
