Ali Mussa Daqduq had been captured by U.S. forces following the audacious 2007 raid that left five U.S. soldiers dead, but he was later released by the Iraqis.

Summary

Israel conducted an airstrike in Syria, killing senior Hezbollah commander Ali Mussa Daqduq, who orchestrated the 2007 Karbala raid that killed five U.S. soldiers.

Militants, disguised as U.S. forces, breached a U.S.-Iraqi base, capturing and later killing four soldiers.

U.S. forces captured Daqduq in 2007, linking the attack to Iran’s Quds Force, but he was released by Iraq in 2012, sparking U.S. outrage.

After his release, Daqduq resumed leadership within Hezbollah.
