The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of two members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

They are named as Sadiq Jaafar, from a town in the Beqaa Valley, and Muhammad Yaqoub from the northeastern city of Baalbek.

Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 244.

The announcement comes following several IDF strikes on Hezbollah positions in northeastern Lebanon over the past day, in response to attacks on northern Israel.
