A powerful Israeli airstrike in Beirut has killed one of Hezbollah’s key figures, Mohammed Afif. He was the media relations chief for the militant group, and his death marks a significant moment in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.

Lebanon faces the dilemma of whether to go ahead with negotiations with Israel to end the ongoing cycle of violence and prevent a full-scale war.

The Israeli military says it targeted military infrastructure for Hezbollah in those areas. It accuses the group of rebuilding its capabilities almost a year after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered the strikes and accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire when the militant group this week handed over body parts that Israel said were partial remains of a hostage recovered earlier in the war.

Israel’s military says the ceasefire is back on in Gaza after it carried out heavy airstrikes that killed more than 100 people according to officials.

The Israeli military's overnight strikes killed women and children, according to local hospitals.
