Mohammed Afif, the chief spokesperson for the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, was killed in an Israeli airstrike.

According to the Associated Press on Sunday, a Hezbollah official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that Afif was killed in an attack on Beirut, Lebanon.

The Times of Israel reported that the Israeli military targeted the Ras al-Naba district in central Beirut, rather than the southern suburbs known to be Hezbollah strongholds. Furthermore, they did not issue an evacuation warning prior to the strike.

Afif was a close associate of Hassan Nasrallah, the Hezbollah leader who died in late September. During a press briefing last week, Afif asserted that Hezbollah was well-equipped with sufficient weapons and supplies to sustain a prolonged conflict.

Despite the Lebanese government considering a ceasefire proposal from the United States, Israel continues its military operations against Hezbollah and Hamas.

The Israeli military announced that, since the previous morning, they had conducted airstrikes on over 200 military targets in Lebanon, including weapons depots.
