Israeli Strike Kills Hezbollah Media Head
The Facts
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that some issues still "require discussion." The agreement would likely see both Israeli forces and Hezbollah withdraw from South Lebanon, with the main point of contention being Israel's demand that it would have the right to strike Lebanon to enforce the agreement.An Israeli strike killed Hezbollah's chief spokesperson Mohammed Afif in central Beirut on Sunday. Israel said that he "wielded significant influence over Hezbollah's military operations" and "glorified and incited" attacks against Israel.
