US EditionIsrael says it killed Hezbollah’s no. 2 leader in Lebanon airstrike
The strike killed Hezbollah's deputy leader and four operatives, with Lebanon reporting five dead and 28 wounded in Beirut’s southern suburbs, marking a rare attack since last year’s ceasefire.
- On Sunday, Haytham Ali Tabatabai, deputy leader and de facto chief of staff of Hezbollah, was killed alongside four operatives in an Israeli air strike in Beirut's Dahieh suburb.
- Hezbollah veteran Tabatabai had long commanded operations in Syria, led special forces in Syria and Yemen, was designated a 'terrorist' in 2016, and returned to Lebanon after Fuad Shukr's killing, the source said.
- The strike hit an apartment building in Beirut's southern suburbs, killing five people and wounding 28 according to Lebanon's health ministry, while Tabatabai's funeral took on a military character with uniformed pallbearers and Hezbollah supporters chanting.
- Tabatabai's killing raised the prospect of retaliation as the IDF increased alert levels, bolstered air defences, and prepared possible preemptive strikes inside Lebanon.
- The strike ties into broader Iran-aligned networks and UN findings, complicating Lebanon's internal politics as the Lebanese government led by President Joseph Aoun and Prime Minister Nawaf Salam seeks to disarm Hezbollah.
