Talal Hamiyah (Arabic: طلال حمية) is a Lebanese militant leader. A senior military commander in Hezbollah since its founding in the early 1980s, he is associated with terror attacks such as the 1994 AMIA bombing and 1996 Khobar Towers bombing. In 2017, the U.S. added Hamiyah to its Rewards for Justice Program, offering $7 million for information leading to his arrest. He is a senior member of Jihad Council.
