Lebanon’s Hezbollah terror group said seven of its fighters have been killed, but didn’t specify where they died other than to say that they were “martyred on the road to Jerusalem.”
A Hezbollah official and a Lebanese security official said the seven fighters were killed in neighboring Syria this morning. They spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations.
Pro-government Syrian media outlets reported an Israeli airstrike on the central province of Homs early Friday.
Hezbollah has been fighting in Syria along with Syrian government forces where they have helped tip the balance of power in his favor during Syria’s 12-year conflict.
The Israeli military said earlier Friday that it struck targets in Syria following a drone strike on the Red Sea city of Eilat saying that it was fired from Syria.
Since Oct. 8, they have been exchanging fire with Israeli troops along the Lebanon-Israel border.
The latest deaths raise to 68 the number of Hezbollah fighters who have been killed since the Israel-Hamas war began last month.
