Target: Hezbollah: A measure of justice for terrorists who massacred 241 US Marines
Friday was a bad day for bad guys, as Hezbollah terrorists had two of its top gangsters offed in a targeted Israeli airstrike in Beirut that also took out more than a dozen other Hezbollah cutthroats. Now dead is Ibrahim Aqil, wanted for killing Americans. As U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said, “Any time a terrorist who has murdered Americans is brought to justice, we believe that that is a good outcome.” Agreed.
Friday was also when a Hezbollah money man pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court and faces years in prison. The pursuit of Hezbollah, Iran’s terror proxy, must continue.

Last Tuesday, the pagers used by Hezbollah exploded in their hands and pockets and the next day went boom their walkie talkies. Israel booby-trapped their communications after Hezbollah’s chief Hassan Nasrallah told his followers that their cell phones weren’t safe from Israeli tracking.
Now they have to meet in person, which is what happened Friday when an Israeli F-35 fighter jet blasted that building in Beirut where they were gathered.
Aqil became Hezbollah’s top ranking military man after Fuad Shukr, who was knocked off by Israel in July. Aqil had a $7 million bounty on his head from the U.S. State Department, issued April 18, 2023.
The digital wanted poster from rewardsforjustice.net says:
“During the 1980s, Aqil was a principal member of Hezbollah’s terrorist cell the Islamic Jihad Organization, which claimed responsibility for the bombings of the U.S. Embassy in Beirut in April 1983, which killed 63 people, and the U.S. Marine Corps barracks in October 1983, which killed 241 U.S. personnel. Also in the 1980s, Aqil directed the taking of American and German hostages in Lebanon and held them there.”
Uncle Sam also had a $5 million price on Shukr for the atrocity against the peacekeeping Marines as they slept, but the web page for him, rewardsforjustice.net/rewards/fuad-shukr/ is dead, like he is, only saying: “Oops! That page can’t be found 404”
Soon enough the rewardsforjustice.net web page for Aqil will also disappear.
The other high level killer wiped out was Ahmed Wahbi, the leader of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, along with a bunch of other Radwan commanders.
In a Brooklyn courtroom that same day, Mohammad Bazzi, identified by the feds as a “specially designated global terrorist,” admitted to smuggling millions in cash to Hezbollah.
The Lebanese foreign minister, who complained about the pager attack, never said the name of Hezbollah, which is occupying his country’s south and has used it as a base to launch 8,000 rockets against Israel starting on Oct. 8, in support of the Hamas attack on Israel. Since then, 60,000 Israelis have been displaced from their homes.
This despite Security Council Resolution 1701 from 2006, which required Hezbollah to pull away from the Lebanon/Israel border to the Litani River, 18 miles from the international boundary. Enforce that and peace will return to both northern Israel and southern Lebanon.
The Iranian representative to the UN was incensed that Iran’s ambassador to Lebanon was injured by an exploding pager. He didn’t say why the ambassador had on him a Hezbollah terrorist pager.
