A senior Hezbollah spokesperson has reportedly been killed in a recent Israeli airstrike targeting central Beirut. The official, who remains unnamed due to lack of authorization to speak to the media, identified the deceased as Mohammed Afif.

Afif, a prominent Hezbollah figure, had gained prominence in the aftermath of heightened Israeli military actions in September. His role further intensified following the assassination of the group's longtime leader, Hassan Nasrallah.

The strike marks another escalation in tensions between Hezbollah and Israel, with significant implications for regional stability.
