Hassan Nasrallah is dead. What happens next in the Middle East

Two weeks ago, Israel announced that halting Hezbollah attacks had become an official goal of its post-October 7 war effort. Since then, Israel conducted a sophisticated clandestine attack on Hezbollah's communications infrastructure and struck numerous Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon and the suburbs of Beirut, killing many of Hezbollah's senior leaders. Then, on Friday, an Israeli airstrike assassinated Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, who led the group for over 30 years.
