Responsible for communications with the media in the Lebanese radical group "Hezbollah" Mohammad Afifa died as a result of the attack of the Israeli army on Beyut, reports the Lebanese Canal Al-Mayadeen.
Reuters, citing sources, reports that the blow is struck in the Ras al-Naba district in the center of the Lebanese capital, and not on the suburbs of the Dahia, where the headquarters of the Hezbollah is located. The group is recognized as terrorist in the USA and Israel. The European Union considers only its military wing, but not the political party.
Sources in the Lebanese special services told Reuters that in Ras al-Nabu, many residents moved from Dahia after Israel began shelling of the Lebanese territory as part of the fight against Hezbollah. The interlocutors of the agency also argue that there were no warnings about the strike from Israel.
Reuters draws attention to the fact that Israel rarely applies remarks on high -ranking officials of Hezbollah, who do not play a clear military role. The Center for Beirut Israeli military also inflates infrequently, the report said.
Mohammad Afif was an adviser to the press leader with the leader of the Hassan Nasellla group, who was at the head of Hezbollah for more than 30 years. Nasellla was killed on October 27 as a result of the Israeli attack on the Hezbollah office in Dahia.
