Hezbollah member killed in Israeli strike in southern Lebanon

One more Hezbollah member was killed in an Israeli airstrike on a home in southern Lebanon, Anadolu Agency reports.

The Lebanese official news agency NNA said the Israeli airstrike took place in the southern Beit Lif town.

In a statement later, the Hezbollah group identified the fighter as Hasan Hussein Malik (Bader) which said he was killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” in reference to the Hezbollah’s fight in support of the Palestinian resistance facing the Israeli devastating onslaught in Gaza.

NNA also reported more Israeli raids on southern Lebanon including artillery shelling on the outskirts of the Khiyam town.

The new fatality brought the number of Hezbollah fighters killed in clashes with Israeli forces since Oct. 8, 2023 to 387, according to an Anadolu tally.
