Mohammad Afif, Hezbollah’s media communications manager, is forced to interrupt a press conference in Beirut’s southern Dahiyeh district after the IDF’s Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee issues an evacuation order for residents of the area.
Afif is filmed as he hastily wraps up his speech and gets up to leave the stage while his assistants remove the microphones. As he leaves, he can be heard saying “the bombing does not scare us, nor the threats. Our will is firm and our determination is strong.”
