Who was Ibrahim Aqil, ‘old school’ Hezbollah commander, killed in Israeli airstrike in Lebanon?

Hindustan Times  

Israel on Friday said it killed the commander of Hezbollah's elite unit in a strike that, according to Lebanese officials, left 14 dead and many others wounded in Beirut. An undated handout photo released by the Hezbollah military media press office on September 21, 2024, shows Hezbollah top commander Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed on September 20 in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburbs. Ibrahim Aqil, who was wanted by the United States for involvement in the 1983 bombing of the US embassy in Beirut, headed the Iran-backed militant group's elite Radwan Force. In 2015, the US Treasury Department designated him as a “terrorist”, followed by another designation by the State Department as a “global terrorist.” Mohannad Hage Ali, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Middle East Center think tank who researches Hezbollah, described Aqil as an “old school” military commander who was close to the Iranians.
