In a significant escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Israel’s military has announced the killing of Ibrahim Muhammad Qabisi, the commander of Hezbollah’s missiles and rockets force, in an airstrike in Beirut. The Israeli military confirmed in a statement that Qabisi was killed alongside other senior commanders of Hezbollah’s missile and rocket force.
Qabisi, a long-time Hezbollah operative who joined the organization in the 1980s, held several key military positions within the group. He was directly responsible for planning and executing numerous attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers, according to the Israeli military. The statement highlighted Qabisi’s critical role in launching missiles at Israeli civilians and his extensive knowledge in the field of missiles.
The Israeli military further emphasized Qabisi’s close ties to senior Hezbollah military leaders, underscoring his importance within the organization’s hierarchy. The airstrike, which targeted a key figure in Hezbollah’s military leadership, could potentially have significant ramifications for the ongoing tensions between Israel and the Lebanese militant group.
