Israeli Airstrike Kills Hezbollah and Quds Force Leader in Beirut
In an overnight strike in Beirut on April 1, 2025, Israel’s military, Shin Bet, and Mossad reported the killing of Hassan Bdair, a member of Hezbollah’s Unit 3900 and the Iranian IRGC Quds Force. The strike, carried out by Israeli fighter jets, targeted Bdair as he was allegedly planning a major terror attack against Israeli civilians in coordination with Hamas.
Bdair was described as a key figure in the Quds Force and Hezbollah’s operations, working closely with Hamas members to organize the attack. The military acted swiftly, deeming the planned assault to be imminent and posing a significant threat to Israel’s security. The joint statement, which included rare public commentary from Mossad, emphasized the urgency of the strike.
This action underscores Israel’s ongoing efforts to prevent attacks linked to Hezbollah and the Iranian-backed Quds Force, both of which are considered terrorist organizations by Israel and many other countries. The event highlights the complex regional dynamics, with Iran and its proxies involved in operations across multiple fronts, including in Lebanon and Gaza.
