The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
The announcement comes after a reported Israeli airstrike in the southern Lebanon village of Deir Seryan this evening.
The operative is named as 17-year-old Hassan Karim, from Deir Seryan.
His death brings the terror group’s toll since October to at least 387.
