Hezbollah official killed in Israeli raid in Beirut

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.
