The IDF confirmed the killing of senior Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil, along with top figures in the terrorist group’s operations unit and the leadership of the elite Radwan force.
According to the army, Aqil and the commanders who were killed were architects of a plan known as the “Operation to Conquer the Galilee,” which aimed to invade Israeli territory, seize northern communities and carry out mass killings of civilians, similar to the deadly Hamas attack on October 7.
The IDF said the strike was part of its efforts to prevent such attacks and ensure the security of its northern border.
