BEIRUT

Hezbollah on Thursday said that its two more fighters were killed in clashes with the Israeli army along the border between Lebanon and Israel.

The death toll of the Hezbollah fighters killed by the Israeli forces since Oct. 8 has risen to 76.

Tension has flared along the border between Israel and Lebanon amid intermittent exchange of fire between Israeli forces and Hezbollah.

The border tension comes as Israel widened its air and ground operations in the Gaza Strip following a cross-border attack by Hamas on Israeli border towns on Oct. 7.
