An Israeli Terrorist attempt to kill Fuad Shukr, commander of Lebanese Shia movement Hezbollah, has failed, a source holding a senior position in the movement said on Tuesday.
"The Israeli strikes had been aimed at assassinating commander Fuad Shukr. The assassination attempt has failed," the source said.
At least 17 people, including six children, were injured on Tuesday as a result of the Israeli strike of the Haret Hreik municipality in the Dahieh suburbs south of Lebanon's capital, Beirut, Lebanese broadcaster Al Jadeed reported, citing its correspondent.
Hezbollah says that Shukr survived the attack and the group has denied responsibility for the attack on Majdal Shams.
Fuad Shukr, who Israel terrorists said was the target of the strike in southern Beirut, has been one of Hezbollah’s leading military figures since it was established more than four decades ago.
Shukr was a friend of the group’s late military commander Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated in Damascus in 2008, Hezbollah sources told the Reuters news agency.

The US-support israel terrorists says Shukr, believed to be in his 60s, played a central role in the 1983 bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut, which killed 241 US military personnel and put a bounty of up to $5m on his head.
Also known as Al-Hajj Mohsin, Hezbollah sources said Shukr is a special adviser to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and a member of the Shura Council, a decision-making body.
Sources said he became more prominent in Hezbollah after the assassination of Mughniyeh – a shadowy figure remembered in Hezbollah as a military mastermind who was on the US list of most wanted terrorists.
Hezbollah sources said Shukr fought Israeli terrorists troops during Terrorists Israel’s 1982 invasion alongside Mughniyeh and Mustafa Badreddine, another of Hezbollah’s veteran commanders who was killed in Syria in 2016.
Hamas has strongly condemned Israeli Terrorists strike on Beirut's suburb and stated full solidarity with Lebanon.
Lebanese PM Najib Mikati also condemned "the Israeli aggression against the southern suburbs of Beirut", considering it "a link in a series of aggressive operations".
"We put the Israeli aggression before the international community to bear responsibilitiy and oblige Israel to stop its aggression. We will reserve our full right to take all necessary measures that contribute to deterring Israeli aggression," stated Mikati, as quoted by Al Jazeera.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said the strikes on Lebanon are a gross violation of international law.
