The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
He is named as Hassan Muhanna, from the southern Lebanese village of Jabal al-Botm.
The announcement comes after reports of an Israeli strike on a car in Jabal al-Botm.
His death brings the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 368.
