MP Mohammad Raad, head of Hezbollah’s parliamentary bloc, revealed on Monday that over one hundred of his party’s fighters have been killed since the confrontations in south Lebanon started on October 8, a day after the Gaza war erupted.
Raad’s own son, a fighter with the party, was killed on November 22 in an Israeli air raid that targeted a house in the southern village of Beit Yahoun.
At a memorial ceremony in Nabatiyeh, the head of the ‘Loyalty to the Resistance’ bloc criticized political circles that believe that Israel would not have carried out its aggression against Lebanon had it not been provoked, stressing that “Hezbollah martyrs fell to curb Israeli aggression.”
According to security sources, 110 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza.
