Hezbollah announces the deaths of three members of the terror group, bringing the number of operatives killed Wednesday to five, as the sides continue to exchange fire across the increasingly volatile border.
The three are named as Muhammad Akram Hamad, Abbas Hussein Zaher and Hassan Ali Daqiq.
The group claims it targeted a group of Israeli soldiers near Shomera on the border “with appropriate weapons” at 8:55 p.m.
Lebanon’s Hezbollah-affiliated al-Meyadeen news site reports Israeli strikes on the town of Naqoura, on the southern Lebanese coast.
There is no comment from Israeli military authorities.
Hezbollah has named 143 members who have been killed by Israel during the ongoing skirmishes, mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria. In Lebanon, another 19 operatives from other terror groups, a Lebanese soldier, and at least 19 civilians, three of whom were journalists, have been killed.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
