Israel Defense Forces on Monday confirmed the 'elimination' of Hezbollah's media chief Mohammed Afif during a strike in central Beirut.

IDF confirmed the development and wrote on X: "ELIMINATED: Chief Propagandist and Spokesperson of Hezbollah, Mohammed Afif."

IDF said Afif was a senior Hezbollah military operative who was directly involved in advancing and executing Hezbollah’s terrorist activities against Israel.

"Messages broadcasted by Afif to the Lebanese media glorified and incited terrorist activities against Israel, and he was responsible for numerous psychological terror operations against the Israeli public," IDF posted on X.

"Afif's impact on the terrorist organization proves that he was directly involved in Hezbollah's terrorist activity against the State of Israel," the Israeli forces said.

Hezbollah group has also confirmed the death of the leader.

Afif also worked as an adviser to longtime Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah over the years.

Hassan Nasrallah was killed during an Israeli airstrike in September.

More than 3,500 people have been killed by Israeli fire in Lebanon since Hezbollah and the Israeli military began firing over the border at each other last October, reported The National.
