Hezbollah's most senior military official, Fu'ad Shukr, was tragically found dead under rubble in Beirut's southern suburbs, as confirmed by a Lebanese security source on Wednesday. The incident occurred following an Israeli drone strike in a densely populated neighborhood, which is known to be a stronghold of the Iran-backed group.
Israel claimed responsibility for the targeted killing of Shukr, citing it as retaliation for a fatal strike in the Israeli-occupied town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights on Saturday. The Israeli government attributed the attack to Hezbollah, although the militant group vehemently denied any involvement in the incident.
