Update:
Conflicting reports continue as to whether or not Hassan Nasrallah was killed in the strike:
Conflicting reports: the IDF says it is likely that Nasrallah was in the bunker at the time it was hit; Iranian news agencies are saying that he is safe. We will soon know.

If they did successfully get Nasrallah, Hezbollah has been finished today.
The definition of a Decapitation Strike, if they were all Eliminated then Hezbollah is likely Finished as any kind of Organized Fighting Force.
