Israeli raid on southern suburb of Beirut, target Hezbollah “senior leader”

An Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut on Tuesday targeted the head of the armed group Hezbollah’s operations room, three senior security sources told Reuters, saying that his fate remained unknown.

The sources named him as Muhsin Shukr but said he was also known as Fuad Shukr. Fuad Shukr was sanctioned by the United States in 2015.

 

A source close to Lebanon’s Hezbollah told AFP two individuals were killed in Tuesday’s strike.

“Two people were killed in the Israeli strike,” said the source requesting anonymity after earlier saying the target was a “leading commander” of the group.
