Afif has appeared as the party's spokesperson, and has held press conferences live from the heart of the Da'aheh district in Beirut, and in areas affected by IDF activity in Lebanon as part of Operation Northern Arrows.
He stated that Israel has not managed to capture "a single" village in Lebanon so far during the invasion, he also dismissed the IDF claim of a significant decline of Hezbollah's missile stockpile as "just lies".
After the attack on Majdal Shams that killed 12 children, Afif said that the group was not responsible for the attack on Majdal Shams. Instead stating it was caused by an Israeli Iron Dome projectile launched in the course of countering Hezbollah rocket fire aiming for Israeli military sites.
On October 22, 2024, he held a press conference, which he had to interrupt live due to an evacuation notice issued by the IDF for the area where the press conference was held. At that press conference, Afif accepted responsibility on behalf of Hezbollah for attacking Binyamin Netanyahu's house in Caesarea several days earlier.




Assassination


An Israeli strike on a building containing the headquarters of the Lebanese branch of the Ba'ath Party in Ras al-Nabaa neighborhood of Beirut Central District killed Afif. A total of four people were killed, all of which were members of Hezbollah's media department, and 14 others were injured including two children in the strike.
