62-year-old Fuad Shukr carried a bounty of $5 million awarded by the US which described him as a “senior military advisor to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah”.
The fate of Hezbollah leader Fuad Shukr remains shrouded in mystery following an assassination attempt late Tuesday in an Israeli drone strike on a building in a southern suburb of the Lebanese capital Beirut.
Hezbollah's long-awaited statement on Wednesday said Israel had attacked a residential building in the southern suburbs of Beirut, a stronghold for the group, and that"a number of citizens" had been killed and others wounded. While Israel’s Channel 14 claimed the targeted leader in the latest strike was Shukr, Channel 12 said ther e is no confirmation yet of the success of the assassination operation carried out by the Israeli army.
Washington had offered a reward of up to $5 million for information on Shukr, whom they described as a “senior military advisor to Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah.”
