reference news reported on september 22on september 20, the spanish newspaper el país published a report titled "who is ibrahim aqil, the hezbollah leader who was killed in an israeli attack and for whom the us offered a $7 million bounty?"

reports said that there have been a series of explosions of communication equipment in lebanon in recent days, but israel did not wait for hezbollah to respond, but continued to launch offensives in the region. on september 20, israel launched an attack in the southern suburbs of beirut, targeting ibrahim aqil, also known as "tahsin", the leader of the shiite paramilitary organization.

aqil, who was killed in the bombing, was considered a key figure in hezbollah's organizational structure in lebanon, especially because of his important role in the jihad council, the highest military body within the organization. his position became more prominent after the assassination of the organization's senior military commander fuad shoukair in july this year.

according to reports, akil has participated in a series of attacks against multiple countries, including the united states. the united states listed him as a "specially designated global terrorist" in 2019. for this reason, the us government stated on its official website that it would offer a reward of up to $7 million for information that could lead to his discovery or capture.

in the 1980s, aqil played a central role in the islamic jihad, a hezbollah offshoot that launched numerous attacks. major attacks included the bombing of the u.s. embassy in beirut in april 1983, which killed 63 people, and the attack on a u.s. marine barracks in october of the same year, which killed 241 american personnel. these events marked a turning point in the relationship between the united states and lebanon and other countries in the region.

in addition to participating in multiple attacks, aqil was also reportedly involved in the kidnapping of western hostages (mainly american and german citizens) in lebanon. in the 1980s, when the situation in the middle east was extremely unstable, hezbollah in lebanon used kidnapping as a means of pressure.

aqil's importance in the organization lies in his active participation in the planning and execution of military operations. the jihad committee is responsible for coordinating hezbollah's offensive operations in lebanon and is closely monitored by international intelligence agencies.

the report believes that aqil's death is a major blow to the organization, and its ability to respond and reorganize will be crucial in the coming days. tensions between israel and lebanon's hezbollah have always existed in the middle east, and aqil's death also shows that the conflict in the region is still ongoing.
