The Israeli military says it has killed at least 770 Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon since hostilities escalated amid the war with Iran.
They include hundreds of members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, according to the IDF.
The number only includes operatives that Israeli intelligence officers have definitively identified. That means the true number of killed Hezbollah fighters is likely higher, IDF officials say.
Lebanon’s health ministry says Israeli attacks have killed over 1,000 since the war began. The figure does not differentiate between combatants and civilians.
