The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of two members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli attacks.
They are named as Hassan Muhammad, from the village of Habchit in Lebanon’s northern Akkar District, and Youssef Alwa, from the town of al-Hafir in the Beqaa Valley.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll in Israeli strikes since October to at least 443.
The announcement comes after Israel allegedly caused pagers used by the terror group to explode. The blasts killed nine and wounded some 2,800 others, according to Lebanese officials.
It is unclear if they were killed in the pager explosions. Several IDF strikes in southern Lebanon today reportedly killed six members of the terror group.
