A targeted airstrike by the Israel Defense Forces in Beirut on Friday reportedly killed senior Hezbollah terrorist Ibrahim Aqil — also known as Al-Hajj Abdul Khader.

Aqil was a member of Hezbollah’s top “military” body, the Jihad Council, which is subordinate to the Shura Council and under the direct control of terrorist leader Hassan Nasrallah.

He was also responsible for the Radwan Force commandos in the Swords of Iron War and led Hezbollah’s tunnel project in Lebanon.
