BEIRUT, LEBANON - AUGUST 06: A man holds a poster of deceased Hezbollah top commander Fuad Shukr and General Qasem Soleimani who served in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, during a ceremony to mark the first week since the killing of Hezbollah's top commander Fuad Shukr on August 06, 2024 in Beirut, Lebanon. The recent assassination of a Hezbollah military commander in Lebanon, as well as the killing of the political leader of Hamas in Iran, has heightened concerns of a wider regional war between Israel and Iran-backed enemies like Hezbollah. Israel and Hezbollah have traded regular cross-border fire since Oct. 7, although both sides have seemed to calculate their attacks to avoid all-out war. (Photo by Chris McGrath/Getty Images)
