Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, has reportedly conducted a highly precise operation in Beirut, targeting and eliminating Ali Tabatabai, a senior Hezbollah commander. Tabatabai, who held the position of Chief of Staff for Hezbollah and was considered a key architect of attacks against Israel, was the subject of a $5 million U.S. bounty. The operation, executed by the Israeli Air Force based on Mossad’s intelligence, underscores Israel’s commitment to neutralizing perceived threats. The strike in the densely populated Lebanese capital is notable for its precision, with reports indicating that only Tabatabai’s specific apartment was destroyed, leaving the surrounding building intact and reportedly resulting in no civilian casualties. The Israeli Air Force released footage capturing the moment of the strike and the subsequent destruction of the targeted flat. This operation highlights Mossad’s advanced capabilities in intelligence gathering and execution, particularly in challenging urban environments. The agency’s methods, including the sophisticated use of AI and ground agents, were crucial in overcoming the extensive security measures reportedly in place around Tabatabai.
