ISTANBUL (AA) - Lebanese group Hezbollah said Sunday that two more of its fighters were killed by the Israeli army.
This brought the death toll of Hezbollah fighters since Oct. 8 to 213, according to a tally by Anadolu.
Amid a devastating Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, which led Tel Aviv to stand trial before the International Court of Justice on charges of “genocide,” the Israeli-Lebanese border has witnessed exchanges of fire since Oct. 8, between the Israeli army on one side and Hezbollah and Palestinian factions on the other, resulting in fatalities and injuries on both sides of the border.
Threats from Israeli officials to expand attacks on Lebanese territory have recently escalated, unless Hezbollah fighters withdraw from the borders with northern Israel.
