Hezbollah rocket and missile chief Ibrahim Qubaisi, killed in an airstrike today in the Lebanese capital of Beirut, had planned a kidnapping attack carried out by the terror group in 2000, the IDF says.
IDF soldiers Staff Sgt. Benyamin Avraham, Staff Sgt. Adi Avitan, and Staff Sgt. Omar Sawaid were killed and abducted in the attack in the Mount Dov area on the border. Their bodies were returned in a prisoner exchange in 2004.
