Almost every week, families in Lebanon gather in front of their TVs. Some set up their TV dinners, others set the coals for their Argileh. It is time for Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah's weekly address.
The topics of Nasrallah's speeches are wide-ranging, flitting from Israeli aggression towards Lebanon to offshore natural gas extraction, his words always eloquent no matter the subject.
For the past three weeks, however, the charismatic political leader has been conspicuously silent.
Despite the most significant clashes between Israel and the Iran-backed militia since the 2006 war that have left 36 Hezbollah fighters dead, mum has been the word for Nasrallah.
His followers have taken notice of his absence, anxiously awaiting a sign from their leader.
