On July 30, 2024, Israel launched a strike on Beirut, targeting Fouad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah commander, amid escalating tensions. Shukr, a top military adviser to Hezbollah leader Hasan Nasrallah, has a $5 million bounty for his capture. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) accused Shukr of orchestrating recent attacks that killed civilians, including children, in Majdal Shams. The IDF's move follows recent violence in the Golan Heights, which both Israel and the U.S. attributed to Hezbollah. The impact of the strike and Shukr’s status remain unconfirmed.
