Apr 01, 2024
Jerusalem [Israel], April 1: In a statement issued via its Telegram channel, the Lebanese group Hezbollah has confirmed claims by the Israeli army that one of its fighters, Ismail Ali al-Zein, was "martyred".
Hezbollah rarely specifies where and when its fighters are killed, however, according to the Israeli army, al-Zein, who the army claims was the commander of Hezbollah's anti-tank missile unit, was killed after the Israeli air force bombed a car in the southern Lebanese village of Kounine.
Earlier on Sunday, Hezbollah said its latest attacks on Israeli positions in the afternoon targeted a gathering of soldiers in al-Manara with a missile, and achieved a direct hit.
The armed Lebanese group had claimed seven attacks on Sunday, with another strike targeting "newly developed spy equipment" at al-Jardah near the Lebanese border and destroying it.
The group also released two videos that showed its attacks on Saturday, targeting a group of Israeli soldiers at the Adamit settlement in northern Israel, along with a building used by soldiers near the border.
