The IDF says that Shukr was killed:
IDF confirms: Top Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr was killed in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut earlier this evening.
In a statement, the IDF says that Shukr, also known as Hajj Mohsin, is the most senior Hezbollah military commander.

Shukr sat on the Jihad Council, Hezbollah's top military body, and was considered to be the head of its strategic division.

The IDF says he was also a senior military advisor to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, serving as his "right-hand man."

Since Hamas's October 7 onslaught, Shukr has been managing Hezbollah's attacks against Israel, including the deadly strike in Majdal Shams over the weekend, killing 12 children, according to the military.

The IDF says he was "responsible for the majority of Hezbollah's most advanced weaponry, including precise-guided missiles, cruise missiles, anti-ship missiles, long-range rockets, and UAVs" and for the terror group's "force build-up, planning, and execution of terror attacks against the State of Israel."

He joined Hezbollah in 1985 and has held several senior positions. The IDF says that in the 1990s he advanced numerous attacks against the IDF and allied South Lebanon Army, and in 2000, was involved in the abduction of three Israeli soldiers in an attack in the Mount Dov area.

I wonder what the projected Israelis casualties would be from all the rocket fire without the Iron Dome and their air defenses? There is much teeth gnashing over the deaths from Israelis airstrikes, but we'd be seeing much more of what has transpired over the past week if Israel didn't actually attempt to protect its citizens.

In Gaza, all you have is the knowledge that your remains will be filmed and transmitted in 4K to student protestors in California, before being forgotten less than a week later. Some security.
 
What are the odds that either Iran or Hamas does anything beyond cope and sneed because of this development? I'm sure Hamas is hoping Iran will take it personally and retaliate, but given that the mossad apparently just hit the target and bodyguard, I don't think they'll feel that's strong enough pretext to launch final jihad.
