BEIRUT, Sept 20 (Reuters) - Ibrahim Aqil, the Hezbollah operations commander killed in an Israeli strike on Friday, had a $7 million bounty on his head for two 1983 Beirut truck bombings that killed more than 300 people at the American embassy and a U.S. Marines barracks.
Two security sources in Lebanon confirmed the veteran fighter was killed in an airstrike on Beirut's southern suburbs during a meeting of the elite Radwan unit of the Iranian-backed Lebanese militant group.
Aqil, who has also used the aliases Tahsin and Abdelqader, was the second member of Hezbollah's top military body, the Jihad Council, to be killed in two months after an Israeli strike in the same area targeted Fuad Shukr in July.
Israel escalated its attacks on the group this week after months of border fighting triggered by the conflict in Gaza that began on Oct. 7 with a deadly raid and hostage-taking in Israel by Hezbollah's Palestinian ally Hamas.
Like Shukr, Aqil is a veteran of Hezbollah, which was founded by Iran's Revolutionary Guards in the early 1980s to battle Israeli forces that had invaded and occupied Lebanon.
Born in a village in Lebanon's Beqaa valley sometime around 1960, Aqil had joined the other big Lebanese Shi'ite political movement, Amal, before switching to Hezbollah as a founding member, according to a security source.
The United States accuses him of a role in the Beirut truck bombings at the American embassy in April 1983, which killed 63 people, and a U.S. Marine barracks six months later that killed 241 people.
It further accused him of directing the abduction of American and German hostages in Lebanon and listed him as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist in 2019, putting the $7 million bounty on his head.
Referring to the bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks and other attacks on Western interests in Lebanon in the 1980s, Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said in a 2022 interview with an Arabic broadcaster that they were carried out by small groups not linked to Hezbollah.

 

I hope his demise was long and painful.

 

the Hezbella tried another dodge trying to keep the IDF from blowing away their terrorist planning meet >>> held this one in a residential area loaded with a civilian human shield - DIDN'T WORK - the IDF bombed anyway and took out two buildings ....

 

Those civilian human shields would have gladly killed Jews with their own hands, so I'm sure it was a hard call for the Israelis to make!

 

Why in the hell did it take this long to get him and why wasn't the US? Nevertheless, very glad he got what was coming to him...

 

Hopefully, US Intel fingered his whereabouts.

 

My heart breaks....
NOT!
I hope they got a large number of his henchmen too.

 

Please tell me his pager and radio exploded at the same time and knocked him feet first into a chipper shredder...

 

read the meeting was another dozen or so High Rankers - probably a few Iranians they aren't talking about - about 60 dead in total
