Two Hezbollah fighters killed in Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon
The Hezbollah resistance movement says two of its fighters have lost their lives in fresh Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.
In two separate statements released early on Monday, Hezbollah named Mohammed Hassan Farhat and Ali Mustafa Amro, also known as “Falah” and “Abu al-Ahrar” respectively, as “martyrs on the road to al-Quds.”
Falah was from the southern town of Lweizeh and Abu Al-Ahrar was from Muaysara in Mount Lebanon, according to the statements.
On Sunday, the Israeli military said that its fighter jets had targeted a building in the village of Houla in southern Lebanon and killed a Hezbollah member.
It added that another Hezbollah fighter was killed in a drone strike by the regime’s army in Beit Lif village.
The Israeli regime has been staging numerous sporadic attacks against southern Lebanon since October 7, when it launched a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.
In its most daring attack against the country since the beginning of the Gaza onslaught, the regime assassinated Fuad Shukr, a senior Hezbollah military commander and an advisor to the movement’s Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in Beirut on Tuesday.
The killing of Shukr was carried out hours before the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
Hezbollah has launched a series of strikes against Israeli positions in retaliation for the regime’s aggression against Lebanon and in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Israeli media say Hezbollah’s retaliatory attacks have forced around 60,000 settlers to flee from northern parts of the occupied lands.
