Aql Hashem (Arabic: عقل هاشم; 1952 – January 30, 2000; also spelled Akel Hashem) was a Lebanese military officer and Colonel in the South Lebanon Army (SLA) and served under Major Saad Haddad and later Lieutenant General Antoine Lahad. He was killed in a remote-controlled bomb attack by Hezbollah in his farm in January 2000. His death was widely interpreted as the beginning of the end of the Israel-backed SLA.
