Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Tabataba'i's hands were "soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans," emphasizing Israel's commitment to preventing Hezbollah's rebuilding.<ref>[https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/11/23/this-is-how-hezbollahs-chief-of-staff-was-eliminated/ This is how Hezbollah's chief of staff was eliminated].<blockquote><small>
