Israel Air Force jets, guided by the Intelligence Directorate, killed Ibrahim Aqil, in addition to 15 other Hezbollah  Radwan Force commanders, during a meeting in the Dahieh neighborhood of Beirut on Friday evening, the IDF confirmed in a statement issued Saturday afternoon.

Among the terrorists killed was Abu Hassan Samir, who served as the head of the Radwan Force training unit.

He held various positions within Hezbollah and was commander of the Radwan Force for a decade until early 2024.

Samir was one of the orchestrators of the "Conquer the Galilee" attack plan. He was involved in furthering Hezbollah's entrenchment in southern Lebanon while strengthening the terrorist organization's ground combat abilities.

The Radwan Force commander had planned and executed numerous shooting attacks and infiltrations into Israeli territory.
