The Hezbollah terror group confirms the death of Fuad Shukr, the terror group’s most senior military commander, targeted in yesterday’s Israeli strike in Beirut.

The announcement comes more than a day after the airstrike, which the IDF quickly said had killed Shukr.

Over the past 24 hours, Hezbollah has not carried out any attacks on northern Israel.

The group says its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, will make an address on the occasion of Shukr’s funeral tomorrow.
