The strikes hit a group of small chalets that 18 journalists from at least seven different media outlets – including Al Jazeera, Sky News Arabia and TRT – were staying in while covering the Israel-Hezbollah war in south Lebanon. Several cars marked “Press” were parked in front of the site. Wissam Qassem, a camera operator with Al-Manar, Al-Mayadeen’s Ghassan Najjar, a correspondent, and Mohammad Reda, a technician, were killed in the strike.

Al-Manar is a Hezbollah media outlet and Al-Mayadeen is a pro-Hezbollah outlet, but rights groups have said political affiliation does not make journalists a legitimate target. Journalists are considered civilians under international humanitarian law and deliberately targeting them is a war crime

  1. Shame. But they knew the risks of being in a war zone.
    Juat as Hamas knew Israel would retaliate for the Oct 7th attacks.
    The same sc*m celebrating those attacks with glee, in thr dtreets if Gaza, and atound thr qorld, are bow crying.

    Play silly games…
