Some 200 members of Hezbollah and other terror groups have been killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon since hostilities intensified last week, according to the IDF.

The IDF says that it has conducted over 600 strikes in Lebanon, using over 820 bombs, after Hezbollah began attacking Israel on Monday in response to the killing of Iran’s supreme leader.

Of the 200 dead operatives, the IDF says they include 80 members of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force, 70 Hezbollah artillery operatives, and a number of top commanders, including the chief of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Lebanon.

According to Lebanon’s health ministry, Israeli strikes in the past week killed 394 people.
