Israel says it eliminated Hezbollah commander in Beirut strike
ai generated text
The Israeli military carried out a targeted strike on a Hezbollah commander, Fuad Shukr, in Beirut, Lebanon, in response to an attack on the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. The Israeli military claims that Shukr was responsible for the killing of 12 children and teenagers in the rocket attack on the Golan Heights. However, some local media outlets report that Shukr may have survived the strike. The Lebanese government has urged Hezbollah to use restraint in responding to the Israeli attack.
My message to British nationals in Lebanon is clear – leave.
We did not expect to be hit in Beirut. We thought these were red lines that the Israelis would respect.
The Israeli enemy has committed a great stupid act in size, timing and circumstances by targeting an entirely civilian area.
The Israeli enemy will pay a price for this sooner or later.
This enemy (Israel) demands war and we are up for it, God willing, we are up for it.
The vicious and criminal action of the Zionist criminal gang in the suburbs of Beirut certainly cannot stop ... Lebanon's proud resistance from continuing the honourable path of supporting the oppressed Palestinians and standing against the aggression of the Israeli apartheid regime.
We do not want to see an escalation, we do not want to see an all-out war.
While we've seen a lot of activity on Israel's northern border, we remain concerned about the potential of this escalating into a full blown fight. And I don't believe that a fight is inevitable.
On October 8, Hezbollah terror organization launched a war against Israel, and by doing so joined the Hamas terror organization. We're fighting with determination.
Fuad Shukr was the right-hand man to Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader and his advisor in planning and directing attacks and operations.
The IDF will not tolerate terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians. We have been responding to these attacks with precise strikes on Hezbollah commanders, terror operatives and military infrastructure in Lebanon.
A war with Lebanon could perhaps rally Israelis around the flag but its effects would be almost immediately disastrous.
