Hezbollah Confirms Martyrdom of Ibrahim Aqil in Israeli Strike
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement announced that its senior commander Hajj Ibrahim Aqil 'Abdul Qader' and a group of his comrades have been martyred in an Israeli strike on Beirut's southern suburb on Friday.
In a statement, Hezbollah praised its martyred commander and the "blessed life" he led, "filled with fight, work, wounds, sacrifices, risks, challenges, achievements, and victories."
The statement further asserted that Ibrahim Aqil's greatest wish was to pray in Al-Aqsa Mosque and his greatest passion was Al-Quds, Al Mayadeen reported.
Hezbollah pledged to remain steadfast and loyal to its martyred leader's goals, hopes, and path until victory is achieved.
Earlier on Friday, the sounds of explosions ripped through Lebanon's capital Beirut as a strike targeted a residential building in the city's southern suburb.
The attack leveled the entire residential building to the ground. Initial reports indicate that three have been martyred and at least 17 were injured as a result of the attack, the Lebanese Ministry of Health stated shortly after.
In another update, the ministry said that 14 people were martyred and over 66 others were injured in the strike that targeted an eight-story residential building.
