Killing Hezbollah top commanders shows the power that Israel holds and will hopefully deter other groups getting involved with the Hamas\/Israel war. Although Hezbollah is still attacking Israel with missiles and though other methods, I believe that these attacks will begin to slow down as their missle are not hitting Israel and they are left to pick up the pieces from their ex-commanders. This attack is one of many that increase the death toll of this war, IGOs and other world superpowers will soon become pressured by their citizens to help stop this war and the deaths of innocent civilians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connection<\/strong> &#8211; The US supports Israel as we are allies, however Iran backs Hezbollah, a terrorist organization who supports Hamas and the eradication of Israel. I believe that IGOs such as NATO and the EU need to step in and call a ceasefire, however the current attempts at ceasefire are failing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article &#8211; https:\/\/www.france24.com\/en\/middle-east\/20240920-%F0%9F%94%B4live-israel-pounds-south-lebanon-as-hezbollah-vows-revenge-for-device-blasts Summary &#8211; The Israeli military launched more airstrikes Beirut, however Israeli is claiming that one of their airstrikes on the southern suburbs of the city managed to assassinate the leader and commander of Hezbollah, Ibrahim Aqil.
