The body of Hezbollah military leader Fuad Shukr has been recovered from the rubble of the Beirut building hit by an Israeli strike last night, and his family has been informed, Emirati-owned Sky News Arabia reports.

Earlier today, Hezbollah announced that Shukr had been present in the building at the moment of the strike, but did not confirm his death. The terror group said civil defense teams were working “diligently but slowly” to clear the rubble.
