Hezbollah announced on Thursday that two of its operatives, Ali Abbas Yazbek and Ali Hassan Aqil from southern Lebanon, became "martyrs on the way to Jerusalem," a moniker used by the terror group for its members killed in fighting with Israel. 

According to the terrorist organization, around 255 of its operatives have been killed since the beginning of the war. 

Additionally, the Lebanese Amal Movement, which has also been active against Israel since October 7, reported that two of its operatives were killed in an IDF strike in Naqoura, southern Lebanon. 

The operatives, Ali Ahmad Mahdi and Hussein Ahmad Jaber, were killed in an attack that eliminated a terrorist cell.
