Israel assassinates Hezbollah's chief spokesman as ceasefire talks continue

AN ISRAELI air strike on central Beirut killed Hezbollah’s chief spokesman yesterday, an official with the group said.
Earlier, Israeli strikes killed at least 12 people in the Gaza Strip, officials said, where Israel has waged a war against the Palestinians for over a year.
The latest in a series of assassinations of senior Hezbollah officials came as Lebanese officials were reportedly considering a United States-led ceasefire proposal.
