On 30 July 2024, Israel conducted an airstrike on an apartment building in Haret Hreik in the suburbs of the Lebanese capital of Beirut, killing Hezbollah commander Fuad Shukr, Iranian military adviser Milad Bedi, as well as five Lebanese civilians, including two children, and wounding 80 others.

The attack targeted Shukr, who was accused by the Israeli military of being involved in the rocket attack that occurred three days earlier in Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, which killed 12 Syrian Druze children and teenagers. The Lebanese state National News Agency reported that the attack was carried out by a drone firing three missiles at an apartment building, which partially collapsed.
