Hezbollah reports 2 more fighters killed
BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese resistance group Hezbollah said on Monday that two more fighters were killed in border clashes with the Israeli army in southern Lebanon, bringing the group’s death toll to 166 since October 8.
The two fighters were identified as Samah Asaad Asaad (Abu Tarab) from the town of Kfarkela and Ali Said Yahya from Tayibe town in southern Lebanon.
Hezbollah did not provide any details about the circumstances leading to their death, saying they were killed “on the road to Jerusalem”, implying in ideological context that they laid down their lives for the liberation of Jerusalem from Israeli occupation.
Earlier on Monday, Hezbollah had said that it had repelled an attack by Israeli forces off the southern Lebanese border.
There was no comment yet from Israel on the developments.
Tensions have escalated along Lebanon’s border with Israel since the Israeli army launched a deadly military offensive on the Gaza Strip since October 7.
The Israeli army has since been waging a destructive war on Gaza, leading to 25,295 deaths and wounding 63,000 others, according to Palestinian authorities.
