Israel dice que mató a un comandante sénior de Hezbolá en Beirut

July 31, 2024 - Un ataque israelí en el sur de Beirut mató el martes a Fuad Shukr, identificado por el comandante de mayor rango del grupo armado libanés Hezbolá.

It was the latest in a string of targeted Israeli killings in Lebanon since October, when hostilities broke out between Hezbollah and Israel's military in parallel with the Gaza war.

Shukr has been one of Hezbollah’s leading military figures since it was established by Iran's Revolutionary Guards more than four decades ago.

The United States accused Shukr of playing a central role in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 U.S. military personnel, and had put a bounty of up to $5 million on his head, according to the U.S. government’s Rewards for Justice website.

He was sanctioned by the U.S. in 2015 over Hezbollah’s role in helping Syria’s army. Israel said he was the right-hand man of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and that he was responsible for an attack in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 youths. Hezbollah denied any role, Reuters said.
