Fuad Shukr, the Hezbollah commander who served as a senior adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in an airstrike on Tuesday in Beirut, Lebanon, the IDF announced.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) announced the death of Fuad Shukr, the Hezbollah commander who was behind a drone strike that killed 12 children and teens over the weekend.
Shukr, who was also known as Hajj Mohsin, joined Hezbollah in 1985. He was also sought by the U.S. government over his connection to the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing, which targeted U.S. Marines.
Shukr served as a senior adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah at the time of his death. He died in an IDF strike on Tuesday in southern Beirut, Lebanon.
The IDF confirmed the news in a press release, announcing that its fighter jets “eliminated the Hezbollah terrorist organization’s most senior military commander [Shukr].”
Hezbollah has not confirmed that Shukr is deceased.
