Hezbollah announced on Friday that the majority of its fighters killed in the latest conflict with Israel were born between 2004 and 2005.
The announcement confirms a recent report that showed that more than 63 percent of Hezbollah members killed in the conflict were aged between 26 and 40. The majority of them were killed in the third week of fighting, which erupted in October, and hail from the South.
The Information International consultancy firm said the war has killed 290 people in Lebanon since October, including 228 Hezbollah members.
Moreover, 117 Hezbollah members killed were aged between 20 and 35, or 51.4 percent of the casualties. Twenty-three casualties were aged between 20 and 25, or 9.2 percent, 47 between 26 and 30, 49 between 31 and 35 years of age, 48 between 36 and 40 years of age, 20 between 41 and 45 years of age, and 43 older than 45 years of age.
The Iran-backed party announced on Friday the death of three of its members in fighting against Israel. They all hailed from the southern town of Blida, which Israel has been heavily attacking in recent days, leaving several houses destroyed.
Speaking at the Buildings and Climate Global Forum in Paris, Lebanon’s caretaker Minister of Public Works and Transportation Ali Hamiyeh revealed that hundreds of houses have been destroyed or partially destroyed in the Israeli attacks. Over 9,000 houses have been partially destroyed.
On the ground, Hezbollah announced that it had carried out several operations against Israel, targeting Israeli soldiers in the Rweisat al-Alam, al-Raheb, and al-Naqoura areas and vehicles in the Kfar Shouba region.
Israel meanwhile said its jets struck Hezbollah military command centers in the al-Mansouri and Bint Jbeil regions in the South.
Lebanon’s National News Agency reported Israeli shelling that hit the region between Houla and Mays al-Jabal. Israeli jets struck and destroyed a house in the al-Mashaat area between al-Mansouri and Majdal Zoun.
