The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of seven more members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli attacks.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s death toll during the ongoing skirmishes with Israel since October to at least 450.
Earlier, Hezbollah named two other operatives killed today.
The announcements come after Israel allegedly caused pagers used by the terror group to explode. The blasts killed at least nine and wounded some 2,750, according to Lebanese officials.
At least six Hezbollah operatives were also reported killed in IDF airstrikes in southern Lebanon today.
