Who was Fuad Shukr, the Hezbollah commander killed by Israel in Beirut?

Al Jazeera  

Shukr was a founding member of Hezbollah’s armed wing. Over Tuesday night, Israel launched an air strike killing Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut, Lebanon. “Shukr was one of a number of veteran Hezbollah officials who were among the founders of the group’s military wing,” said Nicholas Blanford, an expert on Hezbollah with the Atlantic Council think-tank. Nevertheless, Israeli military officials described Shukr as a close adviser of Hezbollah’s secretary-general, Hassan Nasrallah, and a man responsible for obtaining the bulk of the group’s more advanced weapons, “including precise-guided missiles, cruise missiles, antiship missiles, long-range rockets, and UAVs”. Shukr was a prominent friend of Hezbollah’s former military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated by Israel in Damascus in 2008, after which Shukr’s prominence within the group rose, Hezbollah said.
