Hezbollah confirms commander's death

· updated

Remains of Hizbollah's commander Fuad Shukr have been found in Beirut, nearly a day after Israel attacked a building in Lebanon's capital Beirut.

The Islamist militia group confirms Shukr's death.

"Shukr's body has been found in the rubble after the attacked building", says the source to the French news agency.

Israel claims to be behind the attack, and has previously claimed that Shukr was killed in the rocket attack.

Israel's military accuses Fuad Shukr of being responsible for the attack on the Golan Heights on July 27, when twelve children were killed. Shukr is said to be one of the highest military leaders in the Iran-backed Islamist Hizbollah movement.
