BEIRUT (AA) – Lebanese group Hezbollah said Tuesday that one of its members had died from wounds sustained in clashes with Israeli forces.
The group, however, did not provide any details about the circumstances leading to its member’s death.
Tension has flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.
At least 78 Hezbollah members have been killed in cross-border clashes since Oct. 8.
The border tension comes as Israel widened its air and ground operations in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Israeli border towns on Oct. 7.
