NextImg:Israel Killed a Top Hezbollah Commander in Lebanon

The Israeli military said today that it had bombed an apartment building in Beirut’s southern suburbs and killed a major figure in Hezbollah’s military command. The strike stoked fears that Israel is driving toward a full-blown war against Hezbollah.

Lebanese officials said that two apartment buildings had collapsed, killing at least 14 people and injuring at least 66 others, including children. Here’s the latest.

A spokesman for the Israeli military said that Ibrahim Aqeel had been killed while meeting with other commanders, and that they were all underneath the building. Hezbollah confirmed Aqeel’s death. Aqeel was wanted by the U.S. in connection with two bombing attacks in 1983 that killed more than 350 people at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut and the U.S. Marine Corps barracks.

The strike on the Hezbollah commanders was the latest in a series of humiliating blows to the group, coming just days after coordinated attacks blew up its pagers and walkie-talkies.
