It's literally a guerilla group known for its flexibility and "next man up" structure. People said the same thing after al-Musawi was killed as well as many others. They just keep getting stronger because the West hasn't figured out how these groups operate and why they're successful. But hey, maybe this will be the time they'll be right. Broken clocks and all that. |

Many of the next in line are probably crippled or out of commission in the near term.
If Israel is going to invade, soon is as good of time as any. |

No time would be as good a time as any. It would be a massive mistake if they do, but it wouldn't surprise me of Netanyahu.

On one hand, their economy is on the verge of collapse and a ground war in Lebanon could be a disaster. They're struggling against Hamas which is not in the same stratosphere in terms of fighting. But they do have air superiority and could just keep bombing endlessly if they want before going in. On the other hand, Bibi's approval goes up with each new war they start. And it keeps him out of prison. Plus a full scale war before the election hurts Harris a lot and helps Trump, which is an added benefit for Bibi. And he can always hand Trump that Reagan moment on a ceasefire if things do go south. My gut says full scale war is inevitable and very soon. They really won't find a better time to do it with the Hezbollah command in a state of flux. |

If anyone wants to learn more about Hezbollah I highly recommend the book Warriors of God. It should be on Audible or the library apps. Well written and gives a lot of insight into the group and it's structure.

There are also reports that they hit the compound of Maher al-Assad, Basher's brother. They have not confirmed whether he is alive or dead.
