Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil, whom Israel says was killed on Friday, was wanted for bombing the U.S Marine barracks and embassy in Beirut in 1983.

The death of a Hezbollah leader wanted for his role in the 1983 attacks drew a range of reactions from survivors and victims’ families but brought little resolution.

The strikes come after Hezbollah's leader vowed to take revenge on Israel who it accuses of an audacious attack on pagers and handheld radios.
