Who Is Fuad Shukr, Target of the Israeli Strike on Beirut?
Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander and target of an Israeli strike on Beirut, was said to be a close adviser to the group’s leader and someone wanted by the U.S. government for his role in a 1983 bombing attack that killed roughly 300 American and French soldiers in Beirut.
At different points, Mr. Shukr oversaw Hezbollah military operations in Israeli-occupied south Lebanon, from which Israel withdrew in 2000.
