A Lebanese Shia Islamist political party, Hezbollah, has confirmed the murder of its media relations chief Mohammed Afif, in two deadly strikes initiated by Israel.

On Sunday, Israel launched two strikes on central Beirut. Israel has been heavily bombing Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, since all-out war erupted on September 2.

The first strike, on Beirut’s Ras al-Nabaa district, was said to have killed four people, including Hezbollah’s media relations chief.

The health ministry said the second strike killed two people and wounded 22 in Mar Elias, raising an earlier toll of one dead and nine wounded.

This comes after the Israeli military announced the killing of Hassan Nasrallah, leader of a Lebanese Shia Islamist political party, Hezbollah.

The Israeli military claimed it killed Hezbollah’s leader in an air attack on Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.

It would also be recalled that a Hamas leader, Commander Saeed Attallah Ali, his wife and their two daughters were killed in another separate Israeli strike on northern Lebanon in October 2024.
