Israel Kills Hamas Terror Orchestrator in Lebanon

Latest Developments

A Lebanon-based Hamas terrorist responsible for orchestrating attacks on Israeli and Jewish targets worldwide was killed in an IDF airstrike on March 13. Hadi Ali Mustafa died near Tyre in what Lebanese media described as a drone strike on his car. As the Palestinian terrorist group’s coordinator of international operations, he had been under the command of Samir Fendi, a Hamas official who was killed alongside the group’s deputy leader Saleh al-Arouri on January 2 in a Beirut blast.

Expert Analysis

“While the focus on its Lebanon operations has been to beat back the formidable and strategic threat posed by Hezbollah, Israel has not neglected the Palestinian terrorist chiefs who thought they had safe harbor over the northern border.” — Mark Dubowitz, FDD CEO

“Since October 7, plots against Israelis and Jews abroad have spiked. By emphasizing that Hadi Mustafa was responsible for international terror, the IDF is sending a message that those who target Jews and Israelis around the world will themselves become targets of the IDF.” — Enia Krivine, Senior Director of FDD’s Israel Program and National Security Network
