Is the killing of Hassan Nasrallah a game changer?

Inside Story

Assassination of Hezbollah head is the culmination of a series of major Israeli attacks on the group’s leaders.

He led Hezbollah for more than three decades and made it into a military and political force to be reckoned with in the longrunning conflict in the Middle East.

Hassan Nasrallah’s killing in a massive Israeli air attack in a southern suburb of Beirut is sure to open a new page in the war.

Israel is on high alert and says it is prepared for all options after it announced his death.

But will Hezbollah respond – and if so, how?

And how will the latest development shape the future of the armed group and its role in the region?
