Hezbollah Commander Assassinated in Israeli Strike Which Also Killed Children
In a statement on Friday night, Hezbollah praised its martyred commander, referring to him as “the distinguished jihadi leader, Hajj Ibrahim Aqeel [Hajj Abdul Qader].”
“His life was one of unwavering dedication—marked by jihad, perseverance, sacrifice, and unyielding commitment in the face of adversity,” the statement added. “He has truly earned this supreme divine honor.”
Hezbollah emphasized that Aqil always deserved such high divine honor following a life full of jihad, work, wounds, sacrifices, risks, challenges, achievements, and victories.
“Al-Quds was ever-present in his heart and mind, day and night. It was his deepest passion, and praying in Holy Al-Aqsa Mosque remained his greatest aspiration,” the statement noted.
The group pledged to uphold Aqil's mission of liberating Al-Quds and remain steadfast in pursuing his dreams and goals until ultimate victory.

“Special prayers and thoughts go to the families of the martyrs, particularly Hajj Ibrahim's. May God grant them patience, solace, and reward in this world and the next,” the statement said.
“May He also accept this noble martyr among the righteous and unite him with the Messenger of God and his pure household and the martyrs of Karbala,” it concluded.
Hajj Aqil joined Hezbollah in the 1980s and was responsible for the resistance group’s operations against Israel.
Earlier on Friday, the Israeli regime staged what it called a “targeted strike” in Beirut, killing at least 14 people and injuring another 66.
According to Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA), five children were among the fatalities. Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen television network reported that a drone fired several missiles against Beirut’s heavily populated Dahiyeh suburb. The NNA, meanwhile, said an F35 jet targeted residential areas with two strikes.
