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

He is named as Abbas Atwi, from the town of Shaqra.

The announcement comes following Israeli strikes against Hezbollah sites in southern Lebanon today, including a building in Houla where several operatives were gathered.

His death brings the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to at least 355.
