On Monday evening Israel launched a strike on Beirut's southern suburbs aimed at senior Hezbollah leader Ali Karaki, the head of the southern front. Hezbollah later said he was safe and had moved to a secure location.

But Hamas' armed wing said its field commander in southern Lebanon, Mahmoud al Nader, was killed in an Israeli air strike.

Will Hezbollah Choose to Keep Its Word—or Its Arsenal?

The militant group must decide between walking back its threat to northern Israel or risking the loss of its advanced missile capabilities.

In less than a week,
1. Israel has managed to significantly degrade Hezbollah’s military capabilities, communications systems, and chain of command.
2. First, exploding pagers and walkie-talkies undermined the group’s ability to communicate.
3. Then came the assassination of operations commander Ibrahim Aqil on Friday—along with 14 top Radwan Force commanders
—which was a major setback for the Lebanese militant group’s top leadership and command unit, the Jihad Council.

From the founding members of Hezbollah’s military structure only Ali Karaki survives today.
