The Hezbollah terror group names two members killed by Israeli strikes, bringing the total toll of members of the terror group killed since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 100.
The tally includes Hezbollah members killed by IDF strikes in southern Lebanon, in response to repeated attacks on the border, as well as several killed in Syria.
