Three journalists killed in Israeli strike on marked press car in Lebanon

AI Summary

short article 2 min

Three Lebanese journalists, Fatima Ftouni, Mohammed Ftouni, and Ali Shuaib, were killed in southern Lebanon on Saturday when their clearly marked press vehicle was struck by Israeli missiles on the Jezzine Road. Other journalists were wounded, and a paramedic was also killed when ambulances arrived. The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, claiming Ali Shuaib was embedded with Hezbollah and tracking Israeli troop positions, allegations disputed by the journalists' employers. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the attack as a violation of international law, citing the Geneva Conventions and UN Security Council Resolution 1738, which protect journalists during armed conflicts. Israel has killed more than 270 journalists in Gaza, often alleging the reporters are members of or linked to armed groups without providing evidence.
