HEZBOLLAH's chief spokesman has been killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Beirut.
Mohammed Afif al-Naboulsi was wiped out after a strike on the Arab socialist Baath party's office, which also killed another three.
A separate attack in northern Gaza's Beit Lahiya also killed at least 30 people, a hospital director has told The Associated Press.
The face of the terror group since 2014, Afif 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 as Israel's Lebanon offensive intensifies.
In an official statement on Sunday, Hezbollah called Afif a “great media leader" as fellow terrorists paid homage to the late spokesman.
Hamas also sent its condolences to Afif’s family and Hezbollah leadership, calling him “a strong and defiant voice of resistance.”
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.
Israel also bombed several buildings in Beiruts southern suburbs, where Hezbollah has long been headquartered, after warning people to evacuate.
Hezbollah began firing rockets, missiles and drones into Israel the day after Hamas' October 7 massacre ignited the war in Gaza.
Israel launched retaliatory airstrikes in Lebanon and the conflict steadily escalated, with Israeli forces invading Lebanon on October 1.
On Sunday, Israel's military said mobile artillery batteries had crossed into Lebanon and began attacking Hezbollah targets, the first time artillery was launched within Lebanese territory.
More than 3,400 people have been killed in Lebanon, according to the Health Ministry, and over 1.2 million driven from their homes.
It is not known how many of the dead are Hezbollah fighters.
Hezbollah has fired dozens of projectiles into Israel daily.
The attacks have killed at least 76 people, including 31 soldiers, and caused some 60,000 people to flee.
Israel's Magen David Adom emergency service said a teenager suffered blast injuries Sunday in Upper Galilee.
