Three Lebanese journalists killed in Israeli strike, say broadcasters
AI Summary
On Saturday, an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon killed three Lebanese journalists: Ali Shoeib of Al Manar TV, and Fatima Ftouni and Mohamed Ftouni of Al Mayadeen. The strike, which hit the journalists' car in Jezzine, occurred just before noon local time. The IDF confirmed killing Shoeib, claiming he was a Hezbollah operative disguised as a journalist who exposed IDF positions and spread propaganda, but provided no evidence. Hezbollah condemned the strike as a deliberate targeting of journalists, while Lebanese President Aoun and Prime Minister Salam denounced it as a violation of international law. This is the second incident of journalists being allegedly targeted in Lebanon by Israel since the start of the US-Israel war against Iran a month ago.
