Israel takes out Hezbollah leader Ibrahim Aqil: Sources
in a rare airstrike Friday in Beirut as the longtime enemies inch closer to a full-blown war, military officials said.
Wahbi was involved in “advancing Hezbollah’s entrenchment in southern Lebanon, while attempting to improve the organization’s ground combat capabilities,” along with planning and executing numerous rocket fire and infiltration attacks on the Jewish state, according to the IDF. “Aqil and the commanders eliminated in the strike were responsible for planning, advancing, and executing hundreds of terrorist operations against Israel, including the planning of Hezbollah’s murderous scheme to raid the communities of the Galilee,” the IDF said., came on the heels of a pair of stunning, long-planned attacks on the terror group by Israel’s Mossad intelligence and covert operations agency.
Sullivan, however, said that the death of Aqil, who orchestrated a trio of 1983 attacks targeting the US embassy and Marines Corps barracks in Beirut that killed more than 300, including over 250 Americans, brought justice to the terror group.
