Israel says Hezbollah firing more than 100 rockets 'some days' towards Israel
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 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.
