HEZBOLLAH’s chief spokesman has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Beirut on Sunday, the terror group has confirmed.
Mohammed Afif al-Naboulsi was wiped out after a strike on the Arab socialist Baath party’s office, which also left another four wounded.
A separate attack in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya also killed at least 30 people, a hospital director has told The Associated Press.
Afif al-Naboulsi had been especially visible after all-out war erupted between Israel and Hezbollah in September.
Israel’s military in a statement said he wielded significant influence over Hezbollah’s military operations and glorified and incited attacks on Israel.
It was the latest targeted killing of a senior Hezbollah official as Israel’s Lebanon offensive intensifies.
On Sunday night, another strike in central Beirut hit a computer shop, killing two people and wounding 22, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
There was no immediate comment from Israel’s military.
The strikes happened as Lebanese officials considered a United States-led cease-fire proposal.
Israel also bombed several buildings in Beiruts southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has long been headquartered, after warning people to evacuate.
