Hezbollah Commander Fuad Shukr Allegedly Killed in Israeli Airstrike

Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was allegedly killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Shukr had been with Hezbollah since 1982 and was involved in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut. Israel accused Shukr of a recent attack that killed 12 children in the Golan Heights.
Fuad Shukr, a significant figure in Hezbollah, was allegedly killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Tuesday.

Shukr, who has been involved with Hezbollah since its inception in 1982, was a close associate of the group's late military leader Imad Mughniyeh.

The United States accused Shukr of being a key player in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut and had placed a five million dollar bounty on him.

According to Israeli reports, Shukr was responsible for a recent attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that resulted in the deaths of 12 children and teenagers.

Lebanese security sources described Shukr as the head of Hezbollah's operations center and stated he was critically injured in the attack near Hezbollah's Shura Council in the Haret Hreik neighborhood.

Also known as Al-Hajj Mohsin, Shukr was a special adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and a member of the Shura Council.

His prominence within Hezbollah grew after Mughniyeh's assassination in 2008.

The U.S. government had described Shukr as a senior military commander involved in operations in southern Lebanon and Syria.

Hezbollah denied any involvement in the recent Golan Heights attack.
