Lebanon’s Amal movement says 2 more members killed in confrontations with Israel
BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanon’s Amal movement said Saturday that two of its members were killed during confrontations with the Israeli army in southern Lebanon, bringing its total death toll to three since Oct. 8.
The movement, led by Lebanese Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri, released a statement identifying the two members as Mustafa Abbas Daher, 33, and Ali Khalil Muhammad, 41.
Israeli warplanes launched Friday a raid on the town of Blida in southern Lebanon, which has witnessed border tensions since Oct. 8, in the wake of a devastating Israeli war on the Gaza Strip.
Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel with intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah since early October, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.
The border tension is a consequence of Israel’s war on Gaza, which has left at least 27,238 Palestinians dead and 66,452 injured.
