Beirut:

Lebanon’s Iran-backed Hezbollah said Friday that Israeli fire killed seven of its fighters, without specifying where or when they died as border tensions persist during the Israel-Hamas war.

The group named the seven fighters in a statement stating they were “martyred on the road to Jerusalem” — the phrase Hezbollah uses to mourn members — now numbering 68 — killed since border clashes with Israel began last month.
