The Hezbollah terror group releases a statement confirming the death of top commander Ibrahim Aqil.
Aqil was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut earlier today, alongside at least 10 other top commanders in the terror group.
According to the IDF, Aqil was the head of Hezbollah’s military operations, the acting commander of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, and the head of a plan to invade the Galilee.
Since October, Hezbollah has named 484 members killed by Israel.
