The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of three members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
They are named as Hadi Hijazi, Fadl Kaour, and Ali Marji, all from the southern Lebanon town of Blida.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 238.
The announcement comes following several recent IDF strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon, in response to attacks on northern Israel.
