On 30 July 2024, Israel conducted an airstrike on an apartment building in Haret Hreik in the suburbs of the Lebanese capital of Beirut, killing Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr,[1] Iranian military adviser Milad Bedi,[2] as well as five Lebanese civilians, including two children, and wounding 80 others.[3][4]
The attack targeted Shukr, who was accused by the Israeli military of being involved in the rocket attack that occurred three days earlier in Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which killed 12 Syrian Druze children and teenagers.[5][6] Lebanese state news agency NNA reported that the attack was carried out by a drone firing three missiles at an apartment building, which partially collapsed.[6]
