Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr killed by Israeli strike on Beirut: Report

Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah military commander, has been killed in an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut, according to Al Arabiya.

The report conflicts with previous reporting from Reuters and Al Jazeera, that Shukr survived the Israeli strike.

Shukr’s death could put pressure on Hezbollah to respond more forcefully to the Israeli strike. 

MEE could not immediately independently verify the casualties from the strike.
