Hamas on Saturday condemned the Israeli killing of Hezbollah military commander Ibrahim Aqil, calling it a "foolish act that will have consequences.”

The assassination took place in an Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s southern suburb on Friday, Aandolu reported. 

On Friday, the Israeli army claimed responsibility for the strike, saying it targeted Aqil along with other senior Hezbollah commanders.

Hamas also thanked the Hezbollah resistance group for its ongoing support to the Palestinian people, who are being “exterminated” by Israel.
