Beirut strike unmentioned as Hezbollah puts out statement recounting attacks on Israel

Hezbollah releases a statement tallying its various claimed operations against Israel over the day, but does not mention the strike that Israel says killed the top commander behind those attacks. The group has yet to comment on the apparent assassination of Fuad Shukr, a right-hand man to Hassan Nasrallah.

The terror group puts out a statement shortly after midnight on a daily basis recounting its attacks on Israel throughout the day. Tuesday is no different, with the group announcing 11 different actions throughout the day, from a claimed attempt to shoot down an Israeli fighter plane to what it says were dozens of Katyusha rockets fired at an Israeli missile defense facility.

Perhaps tellingly, the final attack for which a time is given is at 6:35 p.m., about an hour before Israel struck Beirut and killed Shukr.
