FDD is tracking a potential major development in Israel’s multi-front war against Iran-backed terrorists with reports of a potential strike against Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah and other senior Hezbollah leaders. Since October 8, 2023, Iran’s most pampered and lethal proxy, Hezbollah, has launched, without prior provocation, thousands of rockets at Israel from Lebanon. For months, hundreds of thousands of Israeli and Lebanese civilians alike have been displaced from their homes. The U.S. has been holding Israel back from striking hard blows to Hezbollah, and Israel is now paying a steep price. With another war front opened in Israel’s north, all eyes are turning to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Iran for what might come next. So, what lies ahead? How long might it realistically take for Israel to neutralize — or dismantle — this longstanding terror threat? Will the United States pivot its approach and support Israel’s efforts to enforce its sovereignty?

Discussing this topic, FDD Sitrep hosts Lt Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus, a FDD senior fellow on the Middle East; David Daoud, a FDD senior fellow on Lebanon and Hezbollah; and Jonathan Schanzer, FDD's executive director.
