Afrasianet - Despite Israel's successive strikes on Hezbollah, the latest of which was the assassination of Hassan Nasrallah and a number of commanders accompanying him, he returned to fight and inflicted heavy losses on the army penetrating into southern Lebanon.

Political analysts and Arab experts point out that although Hezbollah has suffered a heavy blow, it is still able to confront Israel.

Political economist and specialist in the Arab world and the Middle East, Samer Jaber, writes in an article on Al-Jazeera: "The assassination of Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah and the group's southern front commander, Ali Karaki, did not affect Hezbollah's ability to continue its military operations. Retreat would jeopardize Israel's strategic containment mission. That's why Hezbollah's surviving leadership is unlikely to back down and will fight to the end."

"Hezbollah fighters are more familiar with the difficult terrain in southern Lebanon, which gives them a significant advantage. The resistance will strengthen its image in the Arab world as a strong defender of Palestinian and Arab interests. This is likely to strengthen its influence in the region. Israel is likely to try to avoid being dragged into an open, long-term confrontation."

This war is different, no rules of engagement, no red lines, that's my opinion.

In an article for Lebanon's Al-Mayadeen, Palestinian writer and expert researcher Amr Allan wrote that the outbreak of war may last for a very long time, saying: "This will be a brutal war, and it is likely to last for years, but the resistance is ready for it. This war is different from the previous ones in that it is a bone-breaking war, at the end of the year there will be a clear winner and loser."

Political expert Younis al-Sayed points out in the Emirati newspaper "Al-Khaleej" that despite all the losses it has suffered, Hezbollah is able to respond, saying: "It will do so by inflicting serious damage on the Israeli army, as the party is fighting a war on its territory and has all the necessary capabilities and means." In an article in Al-Masry Al-Youm, Egyptian journalist Hamdi Rizk compares "Hezbollah to the phoenix, as it is called in Greek mythology, a rare and wondrous bird that regenerates itself and is reborn from the ashes of its body burning."

He added: "Hezbollah can be described as such a superstitious bird, reborn from the ashes of excessive Israeli bombardment," stressing that "the battle of the Litani, what looks like a sweep, does not translate the end of Hezbollah, the question: Did

Netanyahu write the end of Hezbollah?. A morally shameful question in the face of an angry enemy who is good at assassinations cowardly in confrontations, I doubt the soundness of the operative part of the malicious question, those are their wishes, a strike from a sick imagination. And a pipe dream of crude Zionism!" In an article for the Kuwaiti newspaper "Al-Rai", expert Sultan Ibrahim Al-Khalaf says that "the occupation entity, which numbers seven million Zionists, is trying to control the land of the Arabs, which has a population of 430 million, by using force against Palestinian and Lebanese civilians."

"The killing of tens of thousands of people in Gaza and Lebanon, and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people, constitutes a war crime, no less than the crime of America dropping nuclear bombs on the heads of Japanese citizens. Just as America failed to dominate the world with the advent of nuclear powers such as Russia and China, the Zionists will fail in their attempts to dominate the Arab world."

He concluded that "the terrorist Netanyahu, who is wanted for arrest by the Hague Tribunal, has gone too far as a war criminal who has lost his temper, threatening that the hand of his entity will reach anywhere in our Arab world, as if he were an ibex butting a mountain - and its antler - without realizing the fact that he failed to impose his hegemony by force on a small part of our Arab region, Gaza, and for a year, let alone our entire Arab region?".
