The IDF spokesperson announces that today, November 17, 2024, Air Force fighter jets, guided by precise intelligence from the Intelligence Division, attacked and eliminated Muhammad Afif in the Beirut area. He was responsible for the propaganda unit of the Hezbollah terrorist organization and served as the organization's spokesperson.
Afif was in contact with senior officials to promote, plan, and direct military operations. He also directed Hezbollah operatives on the front lines to transfer documentation from the field and received instructions from senior officials of the organization's military wing regarding taking responsibility for terrorist actions, including the launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle at the Prime Minister's residence in Caesarea on October 19, 2024.
The influence of Afif on the organization proves that he was directly involved in Hezbollah's military activities against Israel.
Afif shaped the messages conveyed in the Lebanese media and ensured the amplification and echoing of terrorist actions against the citizens of the State of Israel and IDF forces, while working to strengthen Hezbollah's image, improve the morale of the organization's operatives, and promote psychological terror among the Israeli public.
