Check out my new article: "The October 7 attacks lit a match to a long-growing tinderbox. ISIS’ enduring ability to carry out attention-grabbing terrorist attacks abroad—in combination with an increasingly Westerner-tailored propaganda machine from ISKP—made it well-prepared to capitalize on the Israel-Hamas War." https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Articles-and-Analysis/how-october-7-became-a-tipping-point-in-isis-percolating-resurgence.html

BREAKING: Iran has launched almost 200 missiles at Israel in retaliation for Hassan Nasrallah killing, per IDF. Two wounded in Tel Aviv, according to early reports. The scale and impact of these strikes are yet to be determined, but they are likely Iran’s only hand to play. Tehran is wary of escalation for several reasons, and its most powerful proxy, Hezbollah, has been beaten down far too badly to act significantly on its behalf.
@real_rita_katz ↩️:
Thus, I don’t see Iran expanding its operation outside of these missile strikes. It’s not for nothing that Iran is promoting all of these airstrikes so heavily; this is, above all else, a face-saving act to project strength after repeated embarrassment in recent years: US’ killing of Qassem Soleimani, Israel’s bombing of an embassy in Damascus, and now the killing of Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.

@real_rita_katz:
Hezbollah confirmed the death of secretary-general and overall leader Hassan Nasrallah, ending speculation about his death in an Israeli airstrike in Beruit on September 27. The killing of Nasrallah will have ramifications for the entire Middle East, from Yemen to Iran. Huge achievement in the war/conflict against Iran and its proxies. Israel’s most important victory in last few decades. https://ent.siteintelgroup.com/Jihadist-Threat-Statements/hezbollah-confirms-death-of-hassan-nasrallah.html
@real_rita_katz:
Israel targets Hezbollah leader Nasrallah at headquarters in Beruit. The fate of Nasrallah has not been confirmed, but early indications are that he could be alive. It seems, however, that the cousin of Nasrallah, top Hezbollah official Hashim Safi Al Din has either been killed or badly wounded. Israel claims nobody in the strike zone survived, but did not confirm who was killed. Thus far, no Hezbollah officials have commented, contrary to group norms following consequential incidents.

It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job."
