Report: Recent IDF strike in Syria killed senior Hezbollah commander behind deadly 2007 attack on US troops

A recent IDF airstrike in Syria killed a senior Hezbollah commander who helped plan a deadly attack on US soldiers in Iraq in 2007, NBC News reports, citing a senior US defense official.

Ali Mussa Daqduq played a key role in the Karbala raid in which terrorists disguised as an American security team entered a base before opening fire and killing five US soldiers.

He was subsequently captured by US forces but later released by the Iraqi government following the American military withdrawal.

NBC says it’s not clear yet when the IDF strike that killed Daqduq took place.
