Saudi Report: 4,000 Hizbullah Fighters Killed in War with Israel, another 2,000 Deserted after Nasrallah's Death
(Times of Israel) Nurit Yohanan - Saudi news channel Al-Hadath reported that 4,000 Hizbullah operatives, including fighters, commanders, and senior figures, were killed during the group's war with Israel, which ended in a ceasefire in November 2024. In addition, 2,000 others deserted following the assassination of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah in September. The report claims Hizbullah still maintains a force of 60,000. 80% of the territory south of Lebanon's Litani River - once under Hizbullah's exclusive control - is now controlled by the Lebanese Armed Forces. Hizbullah has also shut down most of its training centers in the Beqaa Valley and southern Lebanon, and much of its medium and heavy-grade weaponry has either been destroyed by Israeli strikes or seized by the Lebanese army.
