Another Hezbollah member killed in clashes on Lebanon’s border with Israel

By Naeem Barjawi

BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese group Hezbollah said Sunday that one of its members had been killed in clashes near Lebanon’s border with Israel.

The group, however, did not give any details about the circumstances leading to its member’s death.

Tension has flared along the Lebanese-Israeli border amid intermittent exchange of fire between Hezbollah and Israeli forces in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

At least 109 Hezbollah members have been killed since the clashes first erupted on Oct. 8, according to figures released by the group.

The border tension comes amid an Israeli military campaign in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
