Lebanon's Hezbollah movement has been a powerful domestic and regional force, politically and militarily, but the group's confirmation on Saturday of its leader's killing marks an unprecedented blow.
Financed and armed by Iran, Hezbollah is the most prominent actor in the Axis of Resistance -- regional pro-Tehran armed groups opposed to Israel. They also include Palestinian militants Hamas, Iraqi movements and Yemen's Huthi rebels.
