Hassan Nasrallah Assassinated by Israel - Kalam Digest 8

Last week the Secretary General of Hezbollah, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike. This marks the most high profile political assassination Israel has ever carried out. What does this mean for Lebanon and the broader region?

In more news, Israel has launched its ground invasion of Southern Lebanon following airstrikes and heavy artillery bombardment of alleged Hezbollah positions. Sam and Edgar discuss this and more in this week's news summary.

Hezbollah is considered a terrorist organisation by large parts of the Western World, while for many Lebanese and Arabs in general it is considered to be a resistance group.
