Reactions to the Deaths of Fuad Shukr and Isma’il Haniyeh

In the southern suburb of Beirut on July 30, 2024, the IDF eliminated Fuad Shukr, Hezbollah’s most senior military commander and the head of the organization’s strategic array. The attack was carried out in response to a rocket fired by Hezbollah which hit the Druze village of Majdal Shams and killed 12 children and teenagers. Hezbollah confirmed the death of Shukr, aka Sayyed Muhsen, stating that he was one of Hezbollah’s founders and had led its military operations against Israel, especially since the beginning of the current fighting on October 8, 2023.
