Israel-Gaza
Hezbollah's minimal reaction to Radwan chief's killing highlights Israel's advantages
✦ AI Brief
Smoke rises from southern Lebanon during an Israeli military operation. Hezbollah responded with little more than symbolic military action after Israel assassinated its Radwan special forces chief. The terror group had been firing single-digit numbers of rockets and drones toward northern Israel since the end of last week. However, the volume of attacks pales in comparison to previous escalations, indicating Hezbollah's diminished advantages. The Israeli military had maintained control over a larger portion of southern Lebanon following a ceasefire and continued to target Hezbollah fighters and targets.
