The group's lacklustre former deputy leader was the last viable leadership option once Israel killed Hassan Nasrallah and Hashem Saffiedine. Who is he?
A flurry of diplomatic activity accompanied Israel's war on Lebanon in the summer of 2006. Fast-forward to today, there has been a lacklustre response to end the war. Why? Al Majalla explains.
