Two members of the Hezbollah terror group were killed as Israel allegedly carried out an airstrike on a truck near the Syrian-Lebanon border Sunday morning.
Footage showed the truck engulfed in flames on a road outside Qusayr, a Syrian city south of Homs near the border with northern Lebanon.
Shortly after the strike, Iran-backed Lebanese terror group Hezbollah announced that two of its operatives were killed “on the road to Jerusalem,” its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes. It did not say where the two were killed.
The pair, named as Hussein al-Dirani and Ahmed al-Afi, were from Qsarnaba and Brital, two towns in the Baalbek District, adjacent to the Syrian region where the alleged Israeli strike took place.
Their deaths brought the terror group’s toll since the beginning of the war in the Gaza Strip to 214.
Shortly after the reported strike and throughout Sunday afternoon, several volleys of rockets were fired from Lebanon at northern Israel, all apparently landing in open areas, according to the Israel Defense Forces and police.
There were no reports of damage or injuries.
Hezbollah claimed responsibility for the attacks, saying it targeted an army base near Margaliot and IDF positions near Kiryat Shmona. It also claimed to have targeted an army base in the Mount Dov region on the border.
