Special Operation Against Hezbollah

Israel's ongoing operation against Hezbollah is named 'Operation New Order,' aimed at eliminating leaders of anti-Israel organizations. Israel first identifies their enemies, gathers all necessary information, and then strikes their strongholds. Ismail Haniyeh and Hassan Nasrallah were both killed in this manner. Now, Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, and Yemen's Abdul Malik Al-Houthi are potential targets.
