One more Hezbollah fighter was killed in fighting with the Israeli army, the Lebanon-based group announced today.
The group identified the fighter as Abbas Hussein Hammoud.
The new fatality brings the total number of Hezbollah fighters killed in combat with Israeli forces since 8 October 2023 to 379, according to an Anadolu tally.
Fears have grown about a full-blown war between Israel and the Lebanese resistance group amid an exchange of cross-border attacks between the two sides.
The escalation comes against the backdrop of a deadly Israeli onslaught on Gaza, which has killed nearly 39,200 Palestinians since October and injured over 90,400 more.
