The Israeli army said on Saturday it is continuing its attacks on the Shiite militia Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Palestinian extremist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
In southern Lebanon, Nasser Abed al-Aziz, deputy commander of Hezbollah in the Bint Jbeil area near the shared border, was killed during the latest operations, the army said in a statement.
Ground forces, backed by the air force, also killed scores of fighters and unearthed weapons depots of the Iran-backed militia, it added.
The information could not immediately be independently verified.
In Gaza, where Israeli forces killed Hamas leader Yehya al-Sinwar on Wednesday, ground forces killed several “terrorists” in the southern city of Rafah and in Jabalia in the north of the closed-off coastal area, the army said.
This information also could not be independently verified.
Israel wants to expel Hezbollah from the border area with Lebanon and destroy Hamas in response to the massacre of about 1,200 people in Israel in October 2023.
