Three Lebanese journalists were killed on Saturday by an Israeli strike that targeted their vehicle in southern Lebanon, a military source told AFP.

Veteran reporter Ali Shouaib of Hezbollah's channel Al-Manar and Fatima Ftouni of Al-Mayadeen, seen as close to Iran, were killed near Jezzine, alongside Ftouni's brother, a cameraman, the source said.

Al-Mayadeen and Al-Manar confirmed the deaths of their journalists.

The Israeli army later confirmed that Shouaib was the target of the strike, claiming that he was a member of Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit who disguised as a journalist and worked on exposing the positions of the Israeli army in south Lebanon and inciting against the "State of Israel."

  1. A journalist reporting what Israel is doing in Lebanon is a target? I wonder why that is.

    This is so frustrating. I honestly want to scream sometimes at the injustice of it all because nothing will happen despite all this death, horror and destruction.

  2. Those vile genocidal people are literally using the exact same playbook they used in Gaza where are they murdered over 220 Palestinian journalists, by saying oh they are Hamas affiliated journalists, without providing a single iota of proof. Their objective was to prevent anyone from filming and broadcasting to the world All the evil atrocities they were committing in Gaza. They are now using that exact same playbook upon the Lebanese, journalists, paramedics, the exact same playbook because they were not held accountable the first time.

  3. last week, the “IOF” also tried to get a RT journalist as he was reporting on a bridge in Lebanon. Then he and his cameraman were targeted in their car while crossing a bridge and they were wounded. Yes, they are with RT, a known propaganda machine, but that doesn’t negate that it’s a war crime to deliberately target members of the press.
