Hezbollah Commander Fuad Shukr Confirmed Killed in Strike

The body of Fuad Shukr, a top Hezbollah military commander, was found in the rubble of a building in Beirut's southern suburb following an Israeli airstrike. The raid, which targeted a Hezbollah stronghold, also resulted in the deaths of five civilians, including women and children. The strike was in response to a rocket attack on the Golan Heights over the weekend that killed 12 children, an attack for which Israel holds Shukr responsible, though Hezbollah denies involvement. The incident has heightened fears of a broader conflict, with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemning the strike as a dangerous escalation. Lebanon's government anticipates Hezbollah will retaliate and is preparing for potential large-scale displacement.
