Red Cross transfers bodies of 4 Hezbollah fighters killed in border clashes
A Hezbollah spokesperson said Wednesday the Lebanese Red Cross has collected the remains of four of the group’s militants.
An AP photojournalist saw three body bags and a bag of remains transferred from the Lebanese Red Cross to Hezbollah’s Islamic Health Unit at Hiram Hospital, which is near southern Lebanon’s city of Tyre.
The Hezbollah spokesperson said the bodies belonged to militants who were pronounced dead Tuesday. He did not provide details of how they died.
The Lebanese Red Cross had said it was on its way to Lebanon's tense southern border with Israel to collect the bodies.
The Israeli military said Tuesday that its forces killed four militants who were allegedly carrying an explosive device and suspected of attempting a cross-border operation.
