BEIRUT — Israeli forces killed Hezbollah’s military chief of staff on Sunday with an airstrike on Beirut, the first attack on the Lebanese capital in more than five months.
The attack, which hit a residential building in the densely packed neighborhood of Haret Hreik in southern Beirut, targeted Haytham Ali Tabatabai, a Hezbollah veteran considered one of its highest remaining military officials. Israeli and Hezbollah officials confirmed Tabatabai’s death.
