Israel says its strike on Beirut Tuesday killed the Hezbollah commander who was behind the rocket attack that killed 12 children and teens over the weekend—and many other attacks. The Israeli military said the strike killed Fouad Shukur, the « most senior Hezbollah military commander », CNN reports. Israel said Shukur was responsible for the group’s most advanced weaponry, including cruise missiles, reports the Guardian. The US, which accused Shukur of planning the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 241 American military personnel, had a $5 million bounty on his head.
