Terror group reports 37 killed across Lebanon following series of mysterious explosions; dead range from 16 to 54 years old, mostly from south; Nasrallah set to speak Thursday; Israel believes true toll much higher 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. 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.
