Hezbollah mourns 5 members killed in clashes with Israel, death toll nears 400

Today, Tuesday, the Lebanese Hezbollah mourned 5 of its members who were killed in clashes with the Israeli occupation army in southern Lebanon, bringing the death toll to 399 since October 8, 2023.

The party mourned in separate statements: "Hassan Mansour Mansour (Jihad), born in 1998, from the town of Jebchit in southern Lebanon, and Ali Mustafa Shams al-Din (Sajed), born in 2003, from the town of Majdal Silm in southern Lebanon."

In two other statements, he mourned the two elements, Hussein Ali Yassin (Karrar), born in 1993 from the town of Sultaniya in southern Lebanon, and Amin Hassan Badr al-Din (Dhu al-Fiqar), born in 1988 from the town of Ghobeiry in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

The party said in its statements that its members "ascended on the road to Jerusalem," referring to those killed in clashes with the occupation army. This brings the death toll of Hezbollah to 399 since October 8, according to its successive statements.

Earlier on Tuesday, Hezbollah announced that it had attacked several military sites in northern Israel, one of them in Acre, confirming that there had been casualties among soldiers, while the occupation army announced in a statement that it had monitored the infiltration of several drones from Lebanon, one of which was intercepted, while another fell south of the Nahariya settlement, resulting in several casualties.

Since October 8, 2023, Lebanese and Palestinian factions in Lebanon, most notably Hezbollah, have been exchanging daily shelling with the Israeli occupation army across the “Blue Line” separating the two sides, resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries, most of them on the Lebanese side.

The factions are linking the cessation of the bombing to Israel ending a war it has been waging with American support on the Gaza Strip since October 7, which has left more than 131,000 Palestinian martyrs and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 10,000 missing.
