Since early this morning, the Hezbollah terror group has announced the deaths of five members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 227.
The announcement comes following several IDF strikes on Hezbollah positions in Lebanon yesterday, in response to attacks on northern Israel.
The deaths are not believed to be related to an alleged Israeli drone strike this morning in Naqoura, which reportedly killed three people.
