Israel says it killed Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr

Israel has announced that it killed senior Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in a strike on Beirut. 

In a post on X, Israel’s military said Shukr was “Hezbollah’s Most Senior Military Commander and Hassan Nasrallah’s Right-Hand Man”.

Israel said Shukr was responsible for an attack on Majdal Shams in the occupied Golan Heights that it attributed to Hezbollah.

“He was also responsible for the majority of Hezbollah's most advanced weaponry, including precise-guided missiles, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, long-range rockets and UAVs,” the statement added.
