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 Muhammad Fares, from the Beirut area, and Ali Ayoub, from Ain Qana.
The announcement comes after Lebanese media reported an IDF strike on a vehicle between the south Lebanon towns of Seddiqine and Rmadiyeh earlier today, killing two.
Their deaths bring the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 300.
