Three journalists were allegedly killed by an Israeli airstrike early on Friday while they were sleeping in a hostel in south Lebanon. It was a rare airstrike on a region that had been spared so far and that the media has used as a staging area for their coverage of the battle. The site, which had been a number of hotels nestled among branches that had been rented by numerous media outlets, was completely destroyed by the 3am atmosphere strike, with at least one satellite dish completely destroyed, with cars marked” PRESS” rejected and covered in dust and dirt. Prior to the attack, the Israeli troops did not issue a warning, and later admitted to looking into it. Among those killed were cameraman Wissam Qassim, a broadcaster for Lebanon’s Hezbollah team Al-Manar TV, broadcaster Mohammed Rida of the Beirut-based pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen Television, and broadcaster Ghassan Najjar and Mohammed Rida of the Beirut-based pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen TV.
