Keeping Iran’s Proxies on their Back Feet

The day after the Hamas-led campaign of terror on October 7, 2023, Hezbollah began launching near daily rocket attacks targeting Israel. A year later, Israeli forces finally took the fight to the Shi’ite militia in Lebanon, and on September 27, 2024, a targeted Israeli airstrike on an underground Hezbollah command center killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and senior Iranian IRGC commander Abbas Nilforoushan. Their bodies were recovered intact, embracing one another, underscoring the deep, longstanding ties between the Islamic Republic of Iran and its proxies.
