The funeral of Hezbollah top commander Fu’ad Shukr commenced in Lebanon’s capital of Beirut on Thursday. Shukr, who was the most senior military commander of Hezbollah, was reportedly killed by Israel. The funeral proceedings are expected to be a significant event, with Hezbollah Secretary General Hasan Nassrallah scheduled to deliver a speech at 4 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET).
Israel attributed Shukr as the mastermind behind a deadly attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, leading to his targeted killing. Hezbollah has officially confirmed the death of Shukr, further intensifying tensions in the region.
