Hezbollah confirmed that its media relations chief, Mohammad Afif, was killed in an Israeli strike on a building in central Beirut. Israel's military issued a statement reporting that it had 'eliminated' Afif. A second strike later hit another central area, killing at least two people and injuring 22. Hezbollah and Israel have been engaged in a year-long conflict, with Hezbollah launching rockets at Israeli military targets and Israel responding with airstrikes. The conflict has resulted in thousands of casualties on both sides.
