Israeli strike in southern Lebanon kills 3 journalists

ai generated text

On Friday, an Israeli airstrike killed three journalists from Hezbollah-affiliated TV stations Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar. The strike hit a group of small chalets where 18 journalists from at least seven different media outlets were staying. The killed journalists were identified as cameraman Ghassan Najjar and broadcast engineer Mohammad Reda from Al Mayadeen and video journalist Wissam Qassem from Al-Manar.

    1. This is an assassination, after monitoring and tracking, with premeditation and planning, as there were 18 journalists present at the location representing seven media institutions.
    1. Journalists, regardless of political affiliation, are considered civilians and intentionally directing attacks against civilians would amount to a war crime.
    1. It was the only region that still would transmit pictures of airstrikes, targeting and skirmishes. I guess Israel doesn't want these pictures to come out any more. If they wanted to target a team from the journalists, they could have targeted them on the road because they know the cars. But to target us at night while we're sleeping?
    2. The airstrike happened while we were sleeping. I don't remember hearing the sound of the explosion, I heard the sound of the rocket. I came out and found the chalet had fallen on the [journalists].
    1. We hold the occupation fully responsible for this war crime, in which journalist crews, including the Al Mayadeen team, were targeted.
