An Israeli strike early on Friday morning killed at least three journalists and wounded several others as they slept in guesthouses used by media in Hasbaya in southern Lebanon, Lebanon's health ministry and local media reported.
Those killed were camera operator Ghassan Najjar and engineer Mohamed Reda of the pro-Iranian news outlet Al-Mayadeen and camera operator Wissam Qassem, who worked for Hezbollah's Al-Manar, the outlets said in separate statements.
"This is a war crime," Lebanese Information Minister Ziad Makary said.
The Minister of Information overlooks a key detail: both television channels are fully affiliated with and funded by Iran. The ‘journalists’ from these media outlets are direct collaborators with Hezbollah and serve as informants for the Shiite organization, using their status to report on the positions of the Israeli army to Hezbollah.
