00:00Israel's assassination of Hassan Nasrallah, the long-standing leader of Hezbollah,

00:05is a major escalation in its war with the Lebanese militant group.

00:09It has, potentially, brought the region one step closer to a much wider and even

00:14more damaging conflict, one that culls in both Iran and the US.

00:19What will Hezbollah do? Hezbollah is reeling from blow after blow.

00:23Its command structure has been decapitated, with more than a dozen top commanders assassinated.

00:29Its communications have been sabotaged with the shocking detonations of its

00:33pagers and walkie-talkies, and many of its weapons have been destroyed in airstrikes.

00:39The US-based Middle East security analyst Mohammed al-Basha says,

00:43the loss of Hassan Nasrallah will have significant implications,

00:47potentially destabilizing the group and altering its political and military strategies in the short

00:52term. But any expectation that this vehemently anti-Israel organization is going to suddenly
