The list of Hezbollah’s fatalities in the last two days is remarkably diverse, with 37 operatives killed in communication device explosions all across Lebanon.
The list includes operatives from various regions, such as the Bekaa Valley, the Hezbollah stronghold of Dahieh in Beirut, multiple locations in southern Lebanon and the Akkar region in the north.
Thousands of pagers exploded simultaneously across Lebanon, causing mass casualties among Hezbollah ranks
The youngest victim named is Abdel Moneim Jamal Abdel Moneim, a 16-year-old originally from Aitroun, who lived in southern Lebanon’s Kawthariyat al-Raz. The oldest was Hassan Adel Jaber, born in 1970, from Beni Hayyan in southern Lebanon.
All the deceased were referred to in Hezbollah’s official statements as “martyrs on the path to Jerusalem,” a term the group has used for its fighters since the war began. None were given titles indicating senior roles in the organization.
The exact circumstances of their deaths remain unclear, as Hezbollah did not disclose whether they were killed in the pager and walkie-talkie explosions on Tuesday and Wednesday, or in recent targeted Israeli strikes.
Lebanese media reports on Wednesday evening indicated additional Israeli strikes near the border following the communication device explosions. Since the start of the conflict, Hezbollah has reported a total of 477 fatalities.
Israeli estimates suggest that the official death toll reported by Hezbollah is significantly lower than the reality, with likely dozens more killed. The elite Radwan force is believed to have suffered substantial losses, including senior command members, over the course of the war and in the past two days’ explosions. At least 450 have been wounded in the walkie-talkie explosions, adding to over 3,000 Hezbollah fighters injured in the pager blasts.
Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah is expected to deliver his first public address since the explosions Thursday afternoon.
