In a blatant escalation of psychological warfare, Iranian state television has broadcast a graphic "hit list" targeting Israel's top political and military leadership. The segment, which aired late yesterday, featured the faces of Israeli officials marked with red crosshairs and included a direct threat delivered in Hebrew.
The broadcast by Iran’s state-run Ofogh network displayed what it termed a "bank of legitimate targets." The list of individuals marked for assassination includes:
- Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister
- Israel Katz, Defense Minister
- R/A Eyal Zamir, IDF Chief of Staff
- David (Dadi) Barnea, Director of the Mossad
- Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, Head of Military Intelligence (Aman)
- Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar, Commander of the Israeli Air Force
The Iranian presenter accompanied the images with a menacing ultimatum aimed directly at the Israeli public. Speaking in Hebrew, the host declared, "We will determine the time of your death. Wait for the Ababil."
The term "Ababil"** carries a dual meaning intended to strike fear. In Islamic tradition and the Quran, it refers to a miraculous flight of birds that dropped stones to destroy an army of enemies. In the modern military context, "Ababil" is the name of a prolific family of Iranian-manufactured tactical drones and loitering munitions, suggesting a direct threat of UAV strikes against these specific individuals.
The broadcast attempted to frame the potential assassinations as a moral imperative, claiming that the elimination of these leaders would bring "beauty and security" to the world. The video concluded with a golden animation of the "Ababil" logo.
