Orientalist Mykhailo Yakubovych believes that the death of Hassan Nasrallah would not entirely dismantle the operations of the Hezbollah terrorist organization

He shared his opinions with Espreso TV.

“Of course, the death of Hassan Nasrallah will weaken Hezbollah's position. This is not only because Nasrallah himself was killed, but also because many of the organization's top leaders, including key communicators from Iran, died with him. Those responsible for military drones were also among the casualties. However, we should not expect a complete defeat of Hezbollah. They have strong roots in the local Shiite community and will continue to recruit new supporters there. It's possible that Hezbollah will even be partially pushed into Syria,” Yakubovych explained.

Yakubovych also noted that this is not the first instance of Hezbollah facing the assassination of its leader. He pointed to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Abbas al-Musawi by the Israeli Defense Forces in 1992.

  • On Tuesday, September 27, 2024, IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that the Israeli Air Force had struck Hezbollah's headquarters in the Lebanese capital of Beirut. Later, the Israeli military officially announced the elimination of the leader and one of the founders of the organization, Hassan Nasrallah. This information was confirmed by the leadership of the group.
