BEIRUT (Sputnik) - On Tuesday night, the Israeli army announced that it had carried out a strike in a southern suburb of Beirut, adding later that the "most senior military commander" of Hezbollah movement, Fuad Shukr, had been killed in the attack. A local source told Sputnik on Wednesday that Shukr's body had been found under the rubble.
The response of the Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah to the actions of Israel will be real and well-weighed, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah said on Thursday.

"There will definitely be a response to Israel's crimes, and this issue is not up for discussion. The decision is now on the battlefield and is determined by its circumstances and possibilities; we are looking for a real and very thoughtful, not formal response," Nasrallah said in an address in connection with the killing of Sayyed Mohsen, also known as "Fuad Shukr," and Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh.
