Beirut: Lebanon’s Hezbollah group said 20 of its members were killed, with a source close to the group saying they died in walkie-talkie blasts blamed on Israel.
The group sent separate death notices for each member from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning, saying they had been killed “on the road to Jerusalem” — the phrase used to refer to fighters killed by Israel. “The 20 Hezbollah members were killed by walkie-talkie explosions” a day earlier, the source told AFP, requesting anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
More details awaited.
