The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced that they killed Ibrahim Aqil, a top commander in Hezbollah’s elite Radwan force. Aqil was planning attacks on northern Israel and targeting civilians with other leaders underground. The IDF said this action was necessary for Israeli security. The U.S. had offered a $7 million reward for information leading to Aqil’s capture, showing how important he was seen as a threat. This event is likely to increase tensions in the region as both sides respond to the ongoing conflict.
