Israel conducted an airstrike in the Haret Hreik neighborhood targeting Haytham Ali Tabatabai, also known as Ali Tabtabai, the chief of staff and second-in-command of Hezbollah. The strike caused extensive damage to a residential building, resulting in at least five deaths and several wounded individuals, while an Israeli drone was reported near the site. Israeli leaders confirmed the operation aimed to stop Hezbollah's military rebuilding, but neither Israel nor Hezbollah officially confirmed Tabatabai's death, raising concerns about escalating regional violence.
