An Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon has killed three Lebanese journalists covering the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. According to multiple media outlets, the strike targeted a clearly marked press vehicle on the Jezzine Road, killing Al Mayadeen reporter Fatima Ftouni, her brother and cameraman Mohammed Ftouni, and Al‑Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib. Israel’s military claimed it had specifically targeted Shoeib, alleging links to Hezbollah intelligence operations, though no evidence was provided. 

Rescue workers who arrived at the scene were also reportedly struck in a follow‑up attack, resulting in additional casualties. Lebanese officials condemned the strike as a violation of international law protecting journalists, with President Joseph Aoun calling it a “flagrant crime” and citing the Geneva Conventions. The incident adds to a rising toll on media workers amid escalating hostilities, with Lebanon’s health ministry reporting dozens of medical personnel killed in recent days.
