AN Israeli strike in central Beirut has killed the Hezbollah terror group’s chief spokesman on Sunday.
A separate attack in northern Gaza’s Beit Lahiya also killed at least 30 people, a hospital director there told The Associated Press.

Mohammed Afif al-Naboulsi was killed in a strike on the Arab socialist Baath party’s office in Beirut, which also wounded another four people, Hezbollah confirmed in a statement.
He had been especially visible after all-out war erupted between Israel and Hezbollah in September.
Israel’s military in a statement said he wielded significant influence over Hezbollah’s military operations and glorified and incited attacks on Israel.
It was the latest targeted killing of a senior Hezbollah official.
On Sunday night, another strike in central Beirut hit a computer shop, killing two people and wounding 22, Lebanon’s Health Ministry said.
There was no immediate comment from Israel’s military.
The strikes happened as Lebanese officials considered a United States-led cease-fire proposal.
This confirms the crimes of the Israeli enemy, and that it wants to negotiate under fire and is expanding and targeting safe and safer areas, said a Lebanese member of parliament, Faisal Al Sayegh.
Israel also bombed several buildings in Beiruts southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has long been headquartered, after warning people to evacuate.
