Israeli forces confirmed the killing of Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Hezbollah's chief of staff, in a targeted airstrike in Beirut on November 24, 2025. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated the operation was a “preemptive measure” against threats to regional security. Hezbollah swiftly condemned the attack, labeling it a violation of sovereignty and warning of retaliation.
The strike, which Lebanon’s health ministry says killed at least five and injured 28, has sparked fears of escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. Analysts warn the move could destabilize the region further, with global leaders urging restraint. 🌍💥 “This is not just an attack on Hezbollah—it’s a gamble with regional peace,” said a Beirut-based political analyst.
