Hezbollah Media Relations Chief Muhammad Afif Martyred in Israeli Attack

Israeli military forces have claimed responsibility for an attack in which Muhammad Afif, the Chief of Media Relations for Hezbollah, was killed. According to Israeli media, citing two Lebanese security sources, the strike occurred in central Beirut, specifically in the Ras al-Nabaa neighborhood, a bustling part of the capital.

The attack took place in the heart of Beirut, rather than in the southern suburbs, which are known as Hezbollah’s stronghold. The Israeli military’s claim has not been independently verified by Lebanese authorities. The strike has raised tensions further in a region already embroiled in complex geopolitical conflicts.

Hezbollah has not officially confirmed the death of Afif but has condemned the attack, while the Lebanese government is expected to launch an investigation into the incident.
