Hezbollah says two members killed in Israeli strikes on terror group
Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian is The Times of Israel's military correspondent
The Hezbollah terror group announces the deaths of two members killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.
They are named as Ali Hamada, from Doueir, and Muhammad Shami, from Kafr Kila.
The announcement comes after the IDF said it killed two Hezbollah operatives in an airstrike in Kafr Kila overnight.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 280.
