"Hezbollah’s leadership and Nasrallah are at the heart of the battle ..."

Translation into reality-based language: They are hiding because they are scared sh**less.

"We will never leave, even if Lebanon is reduced to scorched earth.

Translated: We don't give a damn about Lebanon, we'll just move elsewhere when things get too hot.
