The Lebanese group said the number of members killed in the last 24 hours rose to 17, following the demise of Muhammad Hussein Ubeid and Abbas Mahmoud Salih.
Hezbollah previously reported that an Israeli airstrike in Beirut killed 15 members, including former Radwan Force commander Ahmed Mahmoud Wahbi.
