Israeli strike said to kill top Hezbollah assassin wanted for killing Lebanese PM

[IsraelTimes] Salim Jamil Ayyash was sentenced in absentia by UN-backed tribunal to life in prison for role in 2005 suicide bombing that killed Rafiq Hariri
A Hezbollah commander responsible for the liquidation of a former Lebanese prime minister was killed in a recent Israeli Arclight airstrike
 ...KABOOM! ...
, Saudi media reported Sunday.
The al-Arabiya outlet said Salim Jamil Ayyash was killed, with unconfirmed reports on social media claiming he was struck near the Syrian city of al-Qusayr, a known Hezbollah stronghold.
Ayyash, who had a $10 million reward from Washington on his head, was a senior member of Hezbollah’s Unit 151 liquidation squad, according to the US State Department.
In 2020, Ayyash was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment by a UN-backed tribunal over the liquidation of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri in a suicide kaboom in Beirut in 2005.

, who was killed in an Israeli strike in late September, refused to hand him over to the authorities, alongside three other defendants who were eventually acquitted.
Ayyash faced a separate case at the tribunal over three other deadly attacks on Lebanese politicians in 2004 and 2005.
