BEIRUT

The Hezbollah group in Lebanon announced that one of its members was killed in clashes with the Israeli army.

In a statement, the Lebanese group said it also targeted with appropriate weapons a gathering of Israeli soldiers in Khallet Warda, as well as Al-Raheb and Biranit positions.

The number of Hezbollah members killed in clashes with the Israeli army since Oct. 8 has risen to 265.

In addition, 53 Lebanese civilians, 14 members of the Amal Movement, 13 Hamas members, 12 Islamic Jihad members as well as seven Israeli civilians and 11 soldiers have died in the clashes.

Tensions have flared along the border between Lebanon and Israel amid intermittent exchanges of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah, in the deadliest clashes since the two sides fought a full-scale war in 2006.

The border tensions came amid an Israeli military offensive in the Gaza Strip in response to a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7.
