A source close to Lebanon's Hezbollah said an Israeli strike on Friday killed the group's elite Radwan unit chief, while Israel said it had conducted a "targeted strike."

"The Israeli air strike killed Radwan Force commander Ibrahim Aqil, its armed force's second-in-command after Fuad Shukr," who was killed in an Israeli strike in July, also in Hezbollah's southern Beirut stronghold, said the source.

Multiple media outlets pointed out that one of the targets in the Israeli strike in Beirut was Ibrahim Aqil, without elaborating on his condition.

There is no confirmation from Hezbollah or Israel on the death of Ibrahim Aqil yet.
