A top Hezbollah commander has been killed in an Israeli strike in the suburbs of Lebanon's capital of Beirut on Friday, two security sources have told the Reuters news agency. Ibrahim Aqil, Hezbollah's operations commander, was killed in a strike that killed three people and wounded 17 others, Lebanon's health ministry said.
Aqil has served as the head of Hezbollah's elite Radwan Force and Jihad Council, the group's highest military body. The US State Department has sanctioned him for his alleged role in carrying out the 1983 bombing of the US Embassy in Beirut, which killed 63 people. It had been offering a reward of $7m for information about Aqil.
