BEIRUT (AA) - The Lebanese Hezbollah group on Friday announced that two more of its fighters were killed in clashes with Israeli forces.

In two separate statements, the group identified the two fighters as Abbas Hammoud and Fadel Noureddine, saying they were killed "on the road to Jerusalem," in reference to the Hezbollah fight in support of the Palestinian resistance facing the Israeli devastating onslaught in Gaza.

The new fatalities brought the number of Hezbollah fighters killed in clashes with Israeli forces since Oct. 8 to 380, according to an Anadolu tally.

Tensions have risen along Lebanon's border with Israel amid cross-border attacks between Hezbollah and Israeli forces as Tel Aviv presses ahead with its deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, which has killed nearly 39,200 people since last October following a Hamas attack.
