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.

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