CAIRO, September 20. /TASS/. The fate of Ibrahim Aqil, the Shiite militia Hezbollah’s military commander in charge of special operations, who was the main target of the Israeli Air Force strike on a suburb of the Lebanese capital, is still unclear, the Al-Qahera el-Ekhbariya television channel said.
