An Israeli strike killed Mohammed Afif, media manager of the pro-Iranian movement, this Sunday, November 17 in a district of the Lebanese capital.
The media head of Lebanese Hezbollah, Mohammed Afif, was killed this Sunday, November 17, in the strike which targeted the offices of the Lebanese branch of the Syrian Baath party in central Beirut, said a Lebanese security source.
“The raid on the Ras al-Nabaa neighborhood led to the death of Hezbollah media manager Mohammad Afif,” said this security source, speaking anonymously, after initially mentioning “uncertainties” on the fate of the senior leader of the pro-Iranian movement. For its part, the Lebanese Ministry of Health reported a “preliminary toll” of one dead and three injured in the strike.
The strike, which occurred just hours after an attack on the southern suburbs of Beirut, hit a district of the Lebanese capital, where many people displaced from this suburb had found refuge.
The Israeli army claims this Sunday to have struck since Saturday morning “more than 200” targets in Lebanon, where it notably bombs strongholds of the pro-Iranian Hezbollah movement. Over the past 36 hours, the army has struck Tyre, a city in southwest Lebanon, the southern suburbs of Beirut on multiple occasions, as well as the center of the Lebanese capital.
