An overnight Israeli Defense Forces airstrike in a part of Lebanon that had not been subject to hostilities killed three journalists from Hezbollah-aligned news agencies as they slept in a press enclave, according to The Associated Press.
A group of guest houses rented by various media outlets covering the war was reduced to rubble, and cars marked “PRESS” were seen smashed, overturned and covered in debris. The IDF issued no warning ahead of the strike and said it was investigating, the AP reported.
The deceased included camera operator Ghassan Najjar and technician Mohammed Rida of Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV, and Al-Manar TV camera operator Wissam Qassim.
