Iranian media says that Hezbollah terrorist was killed while preparing a terror attack

On November 23, Israel killed prominent Hezbollah leader Haytham Ali Tabatabai in a Beirut suburb. Israel targeted Tabatabai due to his role in planning and orchestrating terror attacks against Israel, as well as rebuilding Hezbollah's military capabilities in violation of the ceasefire and UN Security Council Resolution 1701 (which requires Hezbollah's disarmament south of the Litani River).

But Iranian reports of his death - across the board, including sites associated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards - add a detail in Farsi that is missing from both Western and Israeli reports.

As one Iranian linked outlet translated it to English, "This resistance commander was martyred on November 23, 2025, while carrying out a field mission, in an Israeli airstrike on the Haret Harik area in the southern suburbs of Beirut, along with a number of his comrades."

That means he was not just merely a leader of Hezbollah that Israel was targeting. He was a ticking bomb, planning a specific terror attack - maybe in Israel, maybe in Europe or another country, where hezbolah has orchestrated attacks on Jews before.

It is possible that Iranian media added this detail just to make him look better to their audience. But Hezbollah is essentially a branch of the IRGC, so Iran would know if he was planning a terror attack. Hezbollah wouldn't necessarily brag about his preparing a new terror attack in their obituary for Tabatabai, because there would be backlash in Lebanon - but Iran might..
