The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of five 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 478.

The announcements come after Israel allegedly caused walkie-talkies used by the terror group to explode across Lebanon yesterday, which according to Lebanese health officials killed 20 and wounded 450 others.

On Tuesday, Hezbollah named 12 members killed by Israel, including some who died after pagers used by the terror group exploded.

Several Hezbollah operatives have also been killed in IDF strikes in southern Lebanon in recent days.

In all, Hezbollah has admitted to the deaths of 37 members in the past two days.
