Israel has activated a strategy to decapitate Hezbollah by taking out its top military commanders, including Ali Karaki, head of the Lebanese group’s southern front. An Israeli strike targeting Karaki this week put a spotlight on a shadowy figure within Hezbollah’s ranks, but experts are not convinced by Israel’s strategy in a powder keg region.
After a week of deadly attacks targeting Hezbollah’s leadership and military capabilities, the Lebanese-based Shiite militia group on Wednesday fired a missile that reached the Tel Aviv area for the first time ever before being intercepted by Israel's air defences, according to the Israeli military.
