Pars Today - An expert on international affairs and a user of the X social network, considered the Zionist regime's action in martyring Mohammad Afif al-Nabulsi, the head of media relations of Hezbollah, as a sign of the painfulness of Hezbollah's media operations against this regime.

Mohammad Afif al-Nabulsi, the head of media relations and official spokesperson of Hezbollah was martyred in the Zionist regime's attacks on Sunday.

According to Pars Today, Martyr Mohammad Afif al-Nabulsi, known as "Hajj Mohammad" in Hezbollah, joined the movement in 1983 and was one of the founding members of Hezbollah.

He played an effective role in the structure of the Hezbollah movement from the beginning and gradually became one of the key figures of Hezbollah.

Martyr Afif was appointed as the head of media relations of Hezbollah in 2014 and played an important role in conveying messages and media coordination of the party at the domestic and international levels, especially during critical times and conflicts with the Zionist regime.

Martyr Afif announced Hezbollah's strong support for the Palestinian resistance after the Zionist regime's crimes after October 7, 2023, and emphasized that this group will continue to stand alongside Muslim nations.

The head of media relations of Hezbollah has been holding daily press conferences with journalists from various media outlets in recent weeks, especially after the martyrdom of Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary-general of the movement, and answering their questions.

Martyr Afif recently challenged the Zionist regime's threats in a press conference, saying: "We are not afraid of attacking, let alone threatening. Our will is firm and the resistance is standing and steadfast."

Seyyed Mohammad Hosseini, the former Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance of Iran, and Mehdi Torabi, an Iranian football player, were among the other prominent Iranian users who reacted to the martyrdom of the head of media relations and official spokesperson of Hezbollah.
