Hezbollah says another member killed on Lebanon border with Israel
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AA) — Lebanese pro-Palestinian resistance group Hezbollah has said that one of its members was killed in a border clash with Israeli forces.
The Hezbollah member was killed in the southern Lebanese town of Chaqra, the group said in a statement, without providing details about the circumstances leading to his death.
Amid the war on besieged Gaza Strip, tension has flared along the border between Israel and Lebanon, with exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.
At least 48 Hezbollah members have been killed in clashes with Israeli forces since October 7.
The border clashes have been the deadliest since Hezbollah and Israel fought a full-scale war in 2006, when the Lebanese group struck major Israeli cities with rockets, causing significant damage.
More than 1,000 Lebanese were killed in that war, while much of southern Lebanon — a Hezbollah stronghold — was devastated by Israeli attacks.
