Documentary Recounts Path to Nasrallah Assassination, Northern War Campaign

A new documentary by military correspondent Noam Amir revisits the critical moments of the conflict with Hezbollah, two years after the assassination of its former leader, Hassan Nasrallah. The film delves into the decision-making processes, extensive preparations, and key operations that targeted the terrorist organization.

The documentary highlights the Northern Command's long-standing readiness for a broad war with Hezbollah. Commanders recount the realization after the October 7th attacks that a similar scenario could unfold on the Lebanese border. It also reveals a debate where former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant advocated shifting the focus of the fighting northward, a move opposed by the Northern Command chief.

Key events covered include the Majdal Shams disaster, the "Beepers Operation," a ground maneuver in Lebanon, and a large-scale Israeli Air Force strike against Hezbollah targets. The film details the operation leading to Nasrallah's assassination, involving the dropping of approximately 80 tons of bombs on his bunker in Beirut's Dahieh neighborhood.

The documentary features testimonies from commanders and senior officials involved in managing the conflict, illustrating the sequence of events that culminated in one of Israel's most significant operations against Hezbollah.
