Israel’s killing of a top Hamas leader in Beirut, Lebanon on Tuesday has stoked fears of a widening conflict.

NTD spoke to Brandon Weichert, a geopolitical analyst and the author of “The Shadow War: Iran’s Quest for Supremacy.”

He said that while Hamas will be able to replace the lost operative, it is still a serious blow to the terrorist organization. Mr. Weichert said Israel’s actions this week “puts fear into their enemies.

“That is a key component of Israel’s strategy: They want to strike fear into the hearts of the terrorists, who often use fear as a weapon against Israel.”
