Hezbollah has confirmed the death of Fuad Shukr, a high-ranking military commander, following an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Shukr was a notorious figure, accused by the United States of orchestrating the 1983 Beirut barracks bombing that killed 241 American servicemen. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claimed responsibility for the strike, stating it was in response to a deadly weekend rocket attack blamed on Shukr. This development marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, highlighting the long-standing tensions and the cycle of violence that has characterized the region for decades.
