Israel has claimed that more than 220 Hezbollah fighters were killed in southern Lebanon within a week, alongside strikes on over 440 Hezbollah targets in the region. The report comes amid ongoing hostilities despite a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and Lebanon on April 17.

According to the source, both sides have continued to accuse each other of violating the ceasefire, with hundreds reportedly killed in the fighting. The conflict intensified after Hezbollah launched rockets toward Israel on March 2, described as retaliation for the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The violence has drawn regional concern as the situation remains volatile.

Lebanon and Israel have since extended the ceasefire by an additional 45 days, confirmed by U.S. State Department spokesperson Tommy Pigott, though it remains unclear whether the extension will reduce hostilities on the ground.
