BEIRUT (AP) — The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah say they are still searching for the body of a top commander targeted in an Israeli strike in Beirut. The Iran-backed group’s first comment after the strike targeting Fouad Shukur came hours after his death and followed a strike in Tehran that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Hezbollah did not comment about the Hamas leader’s death. Israel claimed late Tuesday that they had killed Shukur, who they said was behind a rocket attack on Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 youths. Hezbollah said civil defense workers were still searching for his body and others under the rubble of the building Wednesday.
