JERUSALEM, March 26, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - The Israeli military said Thursday that its forces had killed around 700 Hezbollah militants since the war with the Lebanese armed group began on March 2.

"So far, I can provide you with a number of approximately 700 (Hezbollah) terrorists that have been eliminated," military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Nadav Shoshani told journalists.

Shoshani noted that Iran-backed Hezbollah had continued to fire rockets, "some days more than 100... mostly towards northern Israel".

Lebanon's health ministry has reported that Israeli attacks have so far killed 1,094 people -- 121 children, 81 women and 892 men.

Since the beginning of the war, Hezbollah has not announced its casualties.
