IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi visits the site of a military drill in the north along with several top commanders, and makes his first public comments on the assassination yesterday of Hezbollah’s top military commander Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin.
“Mohsin is the most senior military official in Hezbollah, and he is also very close to [Hezbollah leader Hassan] Nasrallah; in fact he organizes all the military issues for him — organized, in past tense,” he says.
Halevi says Shukr was responsible for ordering the killing of many civilians in the north.
He says the army has solid plans laid out, “because our goal with Hezbollah is to not go back to the October 6 [status quo]” — referring to the Lebanese terror group maintaining a continued presence on the Israel border, in violation of a UN Security Council resolution that said it should keep dozens of kilometers away.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
