Beirut, CNN - Israel says its strike in Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday killed Hezbollah’s most senior military commander, who it blamed for a deadly attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
In a statement, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said “Israeli Air Force fighter jets eliminated the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s most senior military commander” Fu’ad Shukr. Hezbollah and Lebanese authorities have not yet confirmed the death.
At least three people were killed in the Israeli strike targeting a Hezbollah commander in Lebanon and 74 people were injured, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. The health ministry said two children and a woman were killed in the strike, Lebanese media reported.
The injured, including some with serious wounds, have been taken to nearby hospitals, according to earlier reporting from Lebanese state news agency NNA.
Israel’s Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said “Hezbollah crossed the red line” in a social media post minutes after the Israeli military claimed responsibility for the retaliatory strike on Tuesday. The Iran-backed group has denied being behind the Golan Heights strike three days earlier.
Meanwhile, Israel’s national security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said in a separate post on his official X account that “every dog shall have his day.”
The sequence of attacks mark the most significant Israeli escalation since tensions between Israel and Hezbollah flared after October 7.
The IDF said Shukr, also known as al-Hajj Mohsin, “has directed Hezbollah’s attacks on the state of Israel since October 8, and he was the commander responsible for the murder of the 12 children in Majdal Shams in northern Israel on Saturday evening, as well as the killing of numerous Israelis and foreign nationals over the years.”

Welcome to hell, Mr. Shukr. I see you’ve already experienced our burn chamber.
As soon as Iran and Russia denounced the attack, I pretty much figured Israel hit their target.
Lebanese Health Ministry Advisory: Terrorist attacks on Israel are bad for terrorists’ health.
Nasrallah is next. Then the Ayatollah after him.

He Fu’aded around, and now he found out. Rest in pieces.
There was a 5 million dollar reward on his head set by the USA because this terrorist was involved in the massacre of marines in the 1983 barracks explosion
Those 5million dollars need to go the the parents of the 12 kids murdered
Quit pussy footing around, kill the top 20 every time you strike.
Interesting side note. The Israelis knew where this guy was well before this strike. They knew who he was. Was this information not shared with us as we wanted him for the Beruit Marine killings? Did we know and not act? Questions that need answers.
Israel should get the 5 mil since there was a bounty on this killer
for Shukr!
F. Shukr?
I don’t understand why the USA let this guy go for over 49 years!!
He killed over 200 marines in 1983 in that barracks explosion
Anyways , why does it have to be Israel that does USA ‘s dirty laundry!!
Fu’ad Shukr is now De’ad Phukr
