BEIRUT — Pro-Iranian militants said they killed or wounded 15 members of the Israeli-backed South Lebanon Army militia Sunday in three raids on the militia’s posts.
A statement by the Islamic Resistance, grouping Hezbollah (Party of God) and other Shia Muslim extremists loyal to Iran, said the attacks were launched inside Israel’s self-declared security zone in southern Lebanon.
It said one of its own fighters was killed during the exchange of machine-gun fire and rocket-propelled grenades.
