Al-Fajr Forces, the military wing of the Islamic Group in Lebanon, announced the martyrdom of two of its high-ranking commanders on Friday evening in an Israeli raid that targeted them in the town of Meidoun in western Bekaa.
In a statement, al-Fajr Forces said the two martyrs were while on combat duty and were martyred in defense of the Lebanese people in the south and in support of the Palestinian people.

The Islamic Group had stressed in March that it would "continue to confront the Zionist enemy and support the Palestinian people."
In a previous interview with Al Mayadeen, Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Group in Lebanon, Bassam Hammoud, had underlined that "as long as this enemy occupies our land and attacks our villages, we will continue to confront it."
