Reports increasingly signal body of Hezbollah commander has been found in Beirut rubble

The body of Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr has been found in rubble in the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital Beirut, according to several major news agencies, joining another report on Sky News Arabia that has said so.

Israel’s military announced last night that it had killed Shukr, Hezbollah’s most senior commander who is believed to have been behind a weekend attack that left a dozen children dead in the Golan Heights.

The Reuters news agency cites two security sources as saying his body has been found.

A source close to Hezbollah tells AFP that the remains have been recovered almost 24 hours after the strike.

The source, who requests anonymity, says: “Shukr’s body has been found under the rubble of the targeted building.”
