• The death of Hezbollah leader, Hassan Nasrallah, in an Israeli bombing on September 27 did not end the Israeli offensive against Lebanon.
• Israel is pushing the Shiite militia further north, possibly to the Litani River border.
• UN Resolution 1701, adopted after Israel's unfinished war in 2006, is an important factor in current geopolitics.
• Hezbollah's role in the assassinations of political opponents, particularly former Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, has tarnished its image.
• Hebollah's involvement in the Syrian civil war to support Bashar Al-Assad has further damaged its reputation.
• Israel defends its offensive against Hezbollah as an act of legitimate defense.
• Adding chaos to an increasingly paralyzed state cannot result in stabilization.

Conclusion: Israel's aggressive approach toward Hezbollah and Lebanon could have detrimental consequences in the region if it persists in its offensive, adding even more chaos to an already unstable region.
