The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
The announcement comes after a reported Israeli drone strike on a car and a motorcycle in southern Lebanon, between the towns of Mays al-Jabal and Shaqra.
The strike, according to Lebanese media, killed two people.
The operative is named as Abbas Hijazi, from Majdel Selm.
His death brings the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to at least 382.
He is the first operative killed in an alleged IDF strike since Saturday, when four members of the terror group’s elite Radwan force were killed, prompting Hezbollah to carry out a deadly rocket attack on the Golan Heights town of Majdal Shams, killing 12 children.
