Israel`s military has killed Hezbollah`s Media Chief, Mohammad Afif, after a strike in Beirut on November 17. Afif, who had close ties with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and managed the group`s Al-Manar TV station, was a key target for the IDF due to his role in Hezbollah`s media operations. His death follows increased tensions, with Hezbollah launching nearly 200 rockets at Israeli border areas on November 11, in retaliation for Israel`s actions during the ongoing conflict that began with Hamas` attack on October 7. Israel`s military has stepped up its operations against Hezbollah, and Naim Qassem, a senior Hezbollah leader, may be the next target. The group has strongholds in southern Beirut, a key area for Hezbollah`s influence.
