The Israeli Air Force on Sunday killed Hezbollah propaganda chief Mohammad Afif in a targeted strike on a bunker in Beirut, according to Reuters.

The bunker was located in the Ras al-Naba’a neighborhood in central Beirut, not in Hezbollah’s stronghold of Dahiyeh to the south of the capital, Lebanese security sources told the news agency.

On Oct. 22, Afif was forced to interrupt a press conference in Dahiyeh after the IDF issued an evacuation order for the area ahead of conducting air strikes. The Hezbollah spokesman was rushed away on a bicycle, shortly after declaring that Israeli bombings didn’t scare him, according to an eyewitness report by “PBS NewsHour.”
