A severely hobbled Hezbollah was in no position to help defend former Syrian President Bashar Assad, a longtime ally, from the lightning-fast insurgency that toppled him. With Assad gone, the militant group based in Lebanon is even weaker.

The fall of Assad’s Baathist regime was met with widespread jubilation among Lebanon's various communities, especially its Sunni, Christian and Druze, but trepidation among many Shias, whose political leadership relied on Baathist cover and support. Baathist Syria had played a major role in Lebanon, intervening in the country's civil war, occupying the country in the post-war period, and manipulating Lebanon's political landscape to benefit its political and economic interests. Though it was ousted from the country in 2005 following a mass uprising that blamed Damascus for the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, the Syrian regime continued to maintain influence in the country through its allies and supporters.

Kylian Mbappe has been put up for sale by Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappe has not been included in the squad to Japan and South Korea, which departs on Saturday.
PSG only want players on the tour who are committed to the club and want to be at the club and take the view that no player is more important than the club.
PSG are convinced Mbappe has already agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer next summer, a move that is viewed as a huge betrayal after he said he would never leave for free.
The club sought clarity from Mbappe when training resumed this month but nothing has been communicated by the player.
PSG's six summer signings will be travelling to Japan and South Korea, together with the new coach Luis Enrique and all the positively-motivated squad.
PSG insiders believe what Mbappe is doing is almost sabotage, killing his club and empowering the club's big rival with a free gift transfer.
PSG are convinced it's just about money for Mbappe now. If he stays in Paris just until next summer, he picks up huge wages and bonus - more than £100m. Then next summer he can get a £160m signing-on fee in Madrid as a free agent plus huge wages.
The view from PSG insiders now is that the gloves are off and it's time to stand up for what's right.
Everyone for years has been saying the club doesn't stand up to players. A few years ago, Lionel Messi and Mbappe would have got away with their behaviour and PSG would be pleading with them to stay but now it's really different, with president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is truly determined to protect the future of the club.
Paris Saint-Germain will now do whatever they can to sell Kylian Mbappe to the highest bidder. There is zero emotion now as far as PSG are concerned. It's just business now. It's transactional and they don't care where he goes.
"They will happily do business with Real Madrid or anyone else who pays up and they have no issues about dealing with Saudi clubs. They already had multiple expressions of interest before the player was put for sale tonight.
A statement from Mbappe's entourage in early June:
"After having publicly declared in recent weeks that he will be a Parisian next season, Kylian Mbappe did not ask for his departure this summer, but merely confirmed to the club that he was not activating his additional year.
"The management of the club in charge of its extension (signed on May 21 2022) was informed of its decision on July 15 2022 and the sole purpose of the letter was to confirm what had already been orally clarified previously.
"Mbappe and his entourage claim they have not discussed this point with the club again during the year, except 15 days ago to announce the sending of the letter. Nor has any possible new extension been mentioned.
"Finally, Mbappe and his entourage regret that the receipt of this letter has been transmitted to the media and that these exchanges are made public with the sole aim of damaging his image and the smooth running of conversations with the club."
Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi speaking in early July:
"My position is very clear. I don't want to repeat it every time: if Kylian wants to stay, we want him to stay. But he needs to sign a new contract.
"We don't want to lose the best player in the world for free. We can't do that. This is a French club.
"He said he would never leave for free. If he changes his mind today, it's not my fault. We don't want to lose the best player in the world for free, that's very clear."
