#1 Israeli media now reports that senior Hezbollah official targeted in Beirut was “Haj Mohsen”.

Haj Mohsen is the commander of Hezbollah's precision missile project!, they report.

They’re also calling him the “number 2” of Hezbollah.

US: Fuad Shukr sits on Hezbollah’s top military body, previously aided pro-Assad forces in Syria

By LAZAR BERMAN
According to the US State Department’s Rewards for Justice program, Fuad Shukr — aka Hajj Mohsin — serves as a senior military adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. He also sits on the Jihad Council, Hezbollah’s top military body.

Shukr played a “central role” in the 1983 bombing of US Marine Corps barracks that left 241 US Marines dead, according to the State Department.

The State Department reported that during the Syrian civil war he “aided [Hezbollah] fighters and pro-Syrian regime troops” as they battled anti-Assad forces.

The US placed a $5 million bounty on his head.

The Hezbollah commander targeted in the Israeli airstrike in Beirut a short while ago is reported by multiple media outlets to be Fuad Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, a senior adviser to the terror group’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Shukr was named by the IDF several years ago as a commander of Hezbollah’s precision missile project. He is also wanted by the United States for his role in the 1983 bombing of a US Marines barracks in Beirut.
