BEIRUT – The Israeli Defence Forces IDF has assassinated Hezbollah Media Chief Mohammed Afif.
He was killed in Beirut at the Baath Party office in Israeli air strikes.
Israel is yet to comment on the assassination but said a short while ago, the IAF conducted intelligence-based strikes on Hezbollah command centers and additional terrorist infrastructure in the Dahieh area, a key Hezbollah terrorist stronghold in Beirut.
“Hezbollah has systematically embedded its terrorist infrastructure amidst the Lebanese civilian population, cynically exploiting them as human shields”, IDF Spokesman, Daniel Hagari said.
He added that prior to the strikes, numerous steps were taken to mitigate harm to civilians, including the gathering of prior intelligence, leveraging aerial surveillance, and issuing advance warnings to the civilian population in the area.
