Stephen Kalin, Summer Said and Anat Peled WSJ, Sept. 20, 2024 “Aqil was one of the most important figures in Hezbollah. He inherited Shukr’s role after his killing this summer, and before that maintained a low profile to avoid being targeted by Israel and the U.S.” Israel launched another major attack on Hezbollah on Friday, with a […]
Elizabeth Samson Middle East Forum, Sept. 19, 2024 “Putting aside the double standards held by the international community and the reflexive critique of Israel’s actions without acquisition of facts, and accepting that humanitarian law prohibits the intentional targeting of civilians during armed conflict, Israel’s operation nevertheless complied with international law.” Many analysts heralded this week’s […]
Michael R. Gordon and Shayndi Raice WSJ, Sept. 19, 2024 “Israel is restoring its deterrence brick by brick, operation by operation. … The message: We’ve deeply penetrated your systems and networks.

Yossi Yehoshua Ynet News, Sept. 19, 2024 “Based on statements coming from Lebanon and the depth of the damage to the organization, Israeli assessments suggest Hezbollah will respond—and in a different way than it has so far.” The second wave of strikes launched on Wednesday caused significant damage to Hezbollah, marking part of a […]
Editorial Board WSJ, Sept. 19, 2024 “… even when Israel meets that standard, as now in Lebanon, Rep.
