Exclusive: Inside Hezbollah's decision to attack Israel and Berri's 'break' with the party

Hezbollah launched a surprise rocket and drone strike on northern Israel, citing revenge for the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader and the defense of Lebanon. The group's internal assessment was that an Israeli attack was inevitable, so they launched a preemptive strike to control the engagement. In response, the Lebanese government, with the surprising backing of Hezbollah's ally Nabih Berri, banned the group's military activities and demanded it disarm. Despite this public break, sources indicate Berri and Hezbollah were in contact before the strike, both believing a larger Israeli assault was imminent.
