Three Journalists Killed in Israeli Strike on Press Vehicle in Southern Lebanon
\n————————————–
\nThree Lebanese journalists were killed on March 28 after an Israeli air strike targeted a clearly marked press vehicle in southern Lebanon, amid escalating regional conflict involving Israel, Iran, and Hezbollah.<\/p>\n
The victims included reporter Fatima Ftouni and cameraman Mohammed Ftouni of Al Mayadeen, along with reporter Ali Shaib of Al Manar. According to reports from Reuters and Agence France-Presse, the vehicle was struck by multiple precision missiles near Jezzine, despite being clearly identified as press.<\/p>\n
The Israeli military acknowledged the strike, alleging that Shaib was linked to Hezbollah\u2019s intelligence activities. The media outlets rejected the claim, while Lebanese officials condemned the attack as a violation of international law protecting journalists.<\/p>\n
The strike occurred during intensified hostilities in southern Lebanon. The World Health Organization reported that nine paramedics were killed the same day in separate incidents affecting healthcare services.<\/p>\n
Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry says more than 1,100 people have been killed since early March as the conflict escalates and civilian infrastructure comes under strain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
