New Delhi: Sparing enemies is not in Israel’s DNA. Israel can tolerate everything, but not an attack on itself. Even if it results in war. We have seen an example of this in the Israel-Hamas war. Israel does not see who the enemy is in front of it, it only knows revenge. This is the reason why Israel has avenged the rocket attack in Golan Heights. Israel carried out an airstrike on Hezbollah’s stronghold in Lebanon’s capital Beirut and killed its top commander Fuad Shukr. The IDF i.e. Israeli Defense Force may have claimed to have killed Hezbollah’s top commander, but so far neither Lebanon nor Hezbollah has confirmed it.
First let us know what Israel has done in Beirut, Lebanon. Israel carried out an airstrike on Beirut on Tuesday targeting Hezbollah. So far three people have been reported dead, while dozens have been injured. Benjamin Netanyahu’s Israeli army says that it has attacked Beirut by targeting the hideout of Hezbollah’s commander to take revenge for the Golan Heights. Recently, there was a rocket attack from Lebanon on the Golan Heights controlled by Israel. 12 children were killed in this. It was only after this attack that Israel vowed to take revenge and threatened Hezbollah with dire consequences.
Who is Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr?
Israel claims that Hezbollah’s top commander Fuad Shukr has been killed in its air strike. However, this has not been confirmed yet. Anyway, now let’s know who this top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr is. Israel considers Fuad Shukr to be the biggest military officer of the terrorist organization Hezbollah. Commander Fuad is also called the ‘right hand’ of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. Not only this, he is also a close advisor of Hezbollah. America has also been looking for him. He had a role in the 1983 bomb blast. That is why America was also looking for him. About 300 American and French soldiers were killed in the 1983 bomb blast.
Was Fuad the attacker of Golan Heights?
Fuad Shukr is also known as Al Hajj Mohsin. According to the Israeli army, Fuad Shukr was behind the attack on Golan Heights. He was the one who carried out the Golan Heights attack. 12 children died in that attack. According to an Israeli official, he was very close to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. According to experts who keep an eye on Hezbollah, after the death of Mustafa Badruddin, a big commander of Hezbollah in Syria in 2016, his responsibility was handed over to Fuad Shukr.
America has placed a reward
If the death of Fuad Shukr is true, then not only Israel but America will also be happy. America was searching for him for a long time. The US government has put a bounty on Fuad Shukr since the attack on the barracks in Beirut in 1983. The US government is offering a reward of up to 5 million dollars for information about Fuad Shukr. Anyway, Hezbollah and Lebanon are not going to remain silent due to this step of Israel. Lebanon had already said that if Beirut is attacked then there will be an open war. Now it remains to be seen what is the next step of Hezbollah and Lebanon. Only after this will it be known whether the world will see another war or not.
