Thank you for the fight: Last month, Israel killed Hezbollah’s military commander Fuad Shukr. Now a big revelation has come out about this attack. An American media report has said that this attack on Fuad happened just minutes after a telephone call. In this phone call, Fuad was asked to go from his second floor office to his seventh floor house. It was easy to target him at this place. Hezbollah has said that it is working with Iran to investigate the security breach. The terrorist organization believes that Israel’s superior technical capabilities are defeating Hezbollah.
According to the report of the American newspaper ‘Wall Street Journal’, Fuad Shukr lived in the same building and his office was also in the same building so that he could go out less. He went into hiding after helping to plan the hijacking of TWA Flight 847 from Athens to America in 1985. The newspaper quoted a neighbor as saying, “We had heard his name, but we never saw him. He was like a ghost.” Shukr, his wife, two other women and two children were killed in an attack by the Israeli Defense Forces on July 30. This attack was in response to Hezbollah’s deadly rocket attack on the northern city of Majdal Shams, in which 12 children were killed. Hezbollah was badly upset after this attack by Israel.
After Shukra, Haniyeh was also murdered
Hours after Shukr was killed, Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh was also killed in an explosion in Tehran. Both Hezbollah and Iran have vowed revenge against Israel, which has neither confirmed nor denied its role in the blast that killed Haniyeh. Shukr helped command a cross-border attack in 2006 that killed eight Israeli soldiers and kidnapped two, sparking a war in Lebanon. After that conflict, Shukr planned to increase the terror group’s rocket arsenal from about 15,000 to about 150,000. According to the IDF, Shukr was Hezbollah’s point man for smuggling Iranian-made unguided missiles through Syria into guided missiles.
