An Israeli drone strike on a car on the main road in Jezzine on Saturday killed two journalists, Ali Choeib of al-Manar and Fatima Ftouni of al-Mayadeen. Ftouni’s brother, a videographer, as well as a relative of Choeib, were also killed in the strike, according to our correspondent in southern Lebanon.
It was the first time Israeli forces had targeted this road since the start of the war on March 2.
The army, which provided no evidence, said he had “operated for years under the cover of a journalist within al-Manar and systematically disclosed the positions of Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon and along the border, while maintaining contact with other Hezbollah members, including within the Radwan force.”
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned what he described as a “blatant crime.”
