Hezbollah names four of its members killed in Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon
Hezbollah names four of its operatives who it says were killed in an overnight Israeli airstrike in south Lebanon, according to media reports.
That would bring the total of Hezbollah members the group says have been killed since the start of the Israel-Hamas war last year to 151 — mostly in Lebanon but some also in Syria.
The four were named in foreign outlets as Hussein Hadi Yazbek — a senior official in the terror group — as well as Ibrahim Pahtz, Hadi Racha and Hossein Ghazala.
