The armed group Hezbollah has confirmed the death of senior commander Fouad Shokar in the attack of the Israeli army in Beirut, the capital of Lebanon.

On Tuesday evening local time, Israel launched an airstrike in the southern suburbs of Beirut, saying it targeted a commander in a Hezbollah base in the area.

Late Wednesday, Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah group said it had found the body of commander Fouad Shokar under the rubble of a building in the area. Four others, including two children, were also killed in the attack.

Israel has blamed a Hezbollah commander for an attack on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 children and teenagers. However, Hizbollah has denied this allegation.

Israel’s defense force, the IDF, said in a statement on Tuesday that it had targeted a Hezbollah commander responsible for killing Israeli children and other civilians in Majdal Shams in the Golan.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported at the time that the Israeli attack took place near Hezbollah’s Shura Council in Beirut’s Haret Rik. But then they could not tell what happened to the fate of the commander.

Israel claimed the death of Fuad Shokar immediately after the attack. However, Hezbollah did not open its mouth about the issue at first, but the group admitted it after 24 hours.

According to the BBC, Fouad Shokar is believed’ to have been an important military adviser to Hez’bollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. To kill him, Israel attacked a building in Haret Rik, a suburb of Beirut. The area is very populated and also protected. There are checkpoints around Dahiya. The two children killed in the Israeli attack were 10 and 6 years old. Hizbullah said in a statement that the’ slain commander Shokar will be buried on Thursday.
