Israel eliminates Hezbollah's top military commander Haytham Ali Tabatabai in targeted Beirut strike
Fox News ^ | Nov 23, 2025 | Greg Wehner , Yonat Friling

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Hezbollah’s chief of staff, in Beirut, calling him a "mass murderer" responsible for attacks on Israelis and Americans.

Netanyahu framed the strike as part of Israel’s ongoing effort to dismantle Hezbollah’s leadership and prevent the group from rebuilding its arsenal after recent operations. He warned that Israel would not tolerate future threats from Lebanon and urged its government to disarm Hezbollah.

"A few hours ago, the IDF eliminated Ali Tabatabai, the chief of staff of the Hezbollah terrorist organization," Netanyahu said. "Tabatabai is a mass murderer. His hands are soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans, and it is not for nothing that the U.S. put a bounty of $5 million on his head."

The prime minister said Tabatabai was a senior commander in the Radwan Force, which he said prepared to invade the Galilee and kill Israeli civilians.

I think BiBi has more blood on his hands than Tabatabai.
Not sure if I am sicker of hearing about him or Zelensky all day long.

There’s an open position for someone to advance their career. At least temporarily.

I do too, but it seems to me, no matter how many of these scum bags they kill, a bunch of new scum bags pop up.

If you’ve checked my +25 year posting history you would have seen my Mom was offered $$$ from the German Government for “reparations”.
She turned it down. Said, “We’ve moved on.”

You would have also read of my coming to the defense of 2 male Hasidic Jews on different occasions in NYC.

I am not anti Jew. I am anti-Zionism.

It's terrorist blood, so who cares?

Think of the money spent on Indeed and LinkeIn by the terrorists. “Openings available now. We will train.”

Saved on pension plan payments, though. There aren’t any.

That would appear to be a distinction without a difference.
