The Hezbollah terror group announces the death of a member who succumbed to wounds sustained in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon nearly two weeks ago.

The IDF said on February 12 it had targeted a vehicle with Hezbollah operatives in it, in the village of Maroun al-Ras.

Muhammad Alawiyah, reported to be a Hezbollah commander in the Maroun al-Ras area, was seriously wounded in the strike, and has now died 11 days later.

Alawiyah’s death brings the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 212.
