Mohammed Afif, the head of media relations for Hezbollah, was killed in a strike on the Arab socialist Baath party's office in central Beirut, said officials.
A rare Israeli airstrike on central Beirut killed Hezbollah's chief spokesman on Sunday, an official with the militant group said. Earlier, officials said Israeli strikes killed at least 12 people in the Gaza Strip, where Israel has been at war with the Palestinian group Hamas for over a year. The latest in targeted killings of senior Hezbollah officials came as Lebanese officials considered a United States-led cease-fire proposal.
Two people were killed in a strike on Gaza’s main north-south highway, according to Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the central city of Deir al Balah, which received all 12 bodies. The war between Israel and Hamas began after Palestinian militants stormed into Israel on Oct. 7 last year, killing about 1,200 people — mostly civilians — and abducting around 250 others. Around 100 hostages remain in Gaza, about a third of whom are believed to be dead.
