The Hezbollah commander targeted in the Israeli airstrike in Beirut a short while ago is reported by multiple media outlets to be Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, a senior adviser to the terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Shukr was named by the IDF several years ago as a commander of Hezbollah’s precision missile project. He is also wanted by the United States for his role in the 1983 bombing of a US Marines barracks in Beirut.
