Fuad Shukr, a leading figure in Hezbollah's armed wing, was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut, Lebanon, on Tuesday night.
Shukr was a close advisor to Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and played a key role in obtaining sophisticated weapons for the group.
Israel claimed that Shukr was responsible for the recent deadly missile attack against Israeli civilians in the Golan Heights.
The killing of Shukr, a prominent figure in Hezbollah, is likely to further escalate tensions between Israel and the Lebanese militant group.
