Axis of Resistance has no red lines in punishing Israel

Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, as a prominent strategist, has transformed Hezbollah into Israel’s main adversary since he became the Lebanese movement’s leader in 1992 while also playing a pivotal role among Palestinian resistance groups. The victories of Hezbollah in various political and military arenas in recent years have also left their mark among Palestinians. The Palestinian refugees, particularly the youth who had pinned their hopes on the peace negotiations in the Middle East for years, have realized that the plight of the Palestinians cannot be resolved through negotiations with the occupying regime of Israel. This understanding has been one of the main factors fueling the rise of the resistance movement in Lebanon.
The United States has played a role in the assassination of Nasrallah on two fronts: political and operational. Politically, the US has insisted on a 21-day cease-fire in Lebanon and emphasized the need for the White House to control the battlefield in an effort to unilaterally restrain Hezbollah while simultaneously increasing the maneuverability of the occupying regime to launch attacks on southern Lebanon.
