Tragedy Strikes: Israeli Shelling Claims Journalist’s Life and Leaves Southern Lebanon in Shock
On Friday evening, during the coverage of Israeli bombardment in South Lebanon, an unfortunate incident occurred resulting in the loss of life of a journalist and injuries sustained by many others in the southern region of Lebanon.
Reuters expressed profound sorrow upon receiving the distressing news of the untimely demise of Issam Abdallah, its videographer.
The organization is actively engaged in the acquisition of more information, collaborating with local authorities, and providing assistance to both Issam’s family and coworkers.
It has been verified by Reuters that two other journalists belonging to their team sustained injuries.
According to the Qatari media outlet Al Jazeera, it has been reported that two journalists affiliated with the organization sustained injuries as a result of Israeli artillery fire targeting their vehicle near the Lebanese hamlet of Alma Al Shaab.
According to a report by AFP, it has been said that two journalists affiliated with the organization sustained injuries during their professional engagement in southern Lebanon.
According to the temporary information minister of Lebanon, a minimum of five journalists sustained injuries.
Ziad Makary expressed on a social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, that Israel has committed a another offense by specifically targeting media professionals in the village of Alma Al Shaab. This incident highlights the recurring pattern where the media industry bears the consequences of its ongoing transgressions.
The influence of the media surpasses that of terrorism perpetrated by adversaries.
The interim Prime Minister of Lebanon, Najib Mikati, characterized the assaults on journalists as a recent manifestation of Israel’s historical pattern of “homicide and aggression.”
The bombardment ensued subsequent to the attempted breach of the Alma Al Shaab border barrier into Israel by Palestinian terrorists, hence eliciting a retaliatory response from Israel.
Iran-supported Hezbollah, the Lebanese armed group, refuted any allegations of its involvement in the violation of the border. The influential entity frequently offers protection for Palestinian terrorists, enabling them to carry out offensive operations from the southern region of Lebanon.
Both Hezbollah and the Israeli army reported an explosion near the border, which resulted in minimal damage to the border barrier.
According to a reliable source inside the Lebanese army, it has been established that an Israeli artillery attack targeted a watchtower located at a military intelligence observation position near Dhayra.
According to his statement, there is an ongoing occurrence of conflicts near the border.
Hezbollah has asserted responsibility for initiating an assault on four Israeli positions, asserting that it had inflicted fatalities onto the Israeli Army.
