An Israeli airstrike in Hasbaya, southern Lebanon, killed three journalists while they were sleeping, marking a significant escalation in attacks on media personnel amid ongoing conflict. The deceased included two camera operators from Al-Mayadeen TV and Al-Manar TV, both of which are affiliated with Hezbollah. The strike occurred at dawn without prior warning, turning the guesthouse into rubble and raising concerns about the targeting of journalists, which is deemed a war crime under international law. In response, UN officials condemned the attack, emphasizing the protections afforded to journalists under humanitarian law. The Israeli military is reportedly investigating the incident amidst ongoing operations against Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, including strikes on military supplies. This incident follows an earlier Israeli claim of killing a Hamas militant in Gaza, highlighting the broader regional tensions.
