Israel continues to make the world a safer place, by killing some of the most dangerous terrorists on the planet. Haytham ‘Ali Tabataba’i was the second highest ranking terrorist in Hezbollah. As Hezbollah’s chief of staff, Tabataba’i was leading Hezbollah’s military buildup and rearmament.
Kudos to Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu for his brilliant leadership, and to the incomparable Israeli Airforce for taking out Tabataba’i in a precision strike.

Prime Minister Netanyahu ordered the attack upon the recommendation of the Defense Minister and the IDF Chief-of-Staff.
Israel is determined to act to achieve its objectives everywhere and at all times.
Israel took out a U.S. Specially Designated Global Terrorist.
Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terror group that has killed hundreds of Americans, is weaker today because of Israel’s action. https://t.co/VHw6vbuqpV

נמשיך לפעול בכל העוצמה מול חיזבאללה ונמנע ממנו לחזור וליצור איום על אזרחנו. בדיוק כמו בעזה, שם חמאס ממשיך להפר את הפסקת האש, ואנחנו מגיבים בעוצמה. ביטחון ישראל לא נתון לאישור מאף גורם בעולם. האחריות היא שלנו בלבד, ואנחנו עומדים בה.

Israeli sources have informed the Al-Arabiya channel that the assassination of Hezbollah’s Chief of Staff was successful.
Still waiting for official confirmation!

The IDF says it conducted an airstrike against a “prominent” Hezbollah operative in Beirut a short while ago.
According to Lebanese media, the strike took place in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a known Hezbollah stronghold.
The IDF says it will provide further details soon.

Israel targets Hezbollah’s acting military chief in Beirut strike
Haytham ‘Ali Tabataba’i, a senior and largely secretive figure within the group, has long been considered one of Hezbollah’s most influential military commanders
By Ynet, Nov 23rd, 2025
Israel struck Hezbollah’s acting military chief, Haytham ‘Ali Tabataba’i, in the heart of Beirut on Sunday, the Prime Minister’s Office said. The statement said the operation targeted the commander who oversaw the group’s military buildup, and that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the strike on the recommendation of the defense minister and the IDF chief of staff. “Israel is determined to pursue its objectives anywhere and at any time,” the statement said.
The strike hit an apartment in the Dahieh district, a Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut’s southern suburbs. Residents reported hearing the sound of warplanes moments before the blast. Many fled their apartment buildings fearing additional strikes. Medical sources said at least two dozen people were wounded and taken to hospitals in the area.
