Lebanon: Three journalists killed in Israeli airstrike
Three media workers were killed and three others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a residence housing journalists in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Friday.
The pro-Iran Al Mayadeen TV reported that a cameraman and a technician linked to the broadcaster were killed in an Israeli attack early Friday.
This happened at a residence in Hasbiyya, a town in southern Lebanon.
The Hezbollah mouthpiece, TV Al Manar, said a cameraman working for it was also killed in the strike.
Al Mayadeen head Ghassan Ben Jeddou held Israel fully responsible for what he said was a “war crime.’’
There was no immediate comment from Israel.
On Wednesday, Al Mayadeen said the Israeli army had attacked one of its offices in southern Beirut.
