Iran Points Chilling “Death Sentence” to Israeli Leaders – JP
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 MinisterIsrael Katz, Defense MinisterR/A Eyal Zamir, IDF Chief of StaffDavid (Dadi) Barnea, Director of the MossadMaj. 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.
This move comes amid peak regional tensions and a heightened U.S. military presence in the Middle East. Analysts view the broadcast as a desperate attempt by the Iranian regime to project intelligence capabilities and operational reach as the Trump administration continues to apply “maximum pressure” on Tehran’s nuclear and missile programs.
