Israeli Airstrike Kills Two Journalists in Lebanon

Lebanese Prime Minister Condemns Attack, Accuses Israel of Attempting to Silence Media

Two journalists from Al Mayadeen TV, Farah Omar and Rabih Al-Maamari, and a civilian were killed in an Israeli airstrike near the Lebanon-Israel border, according to Lebanese state media and the TV station.
Al Mayadeen TV, which is politically allied with Hezbollah, accused Israel of deliberately targeting the journalists due to the channel's pro-Palestinian and pro-Iran's regional military alliance stance.
Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati condemned the strike, accusing Israel of attempting to silence the media that exposes its crimes.
The Israeli military stated it was reviewing the incident, which occurred in an area of active hostilities where exchanges of fire occur.
The deaths of the journalists have contributed to the toll of over 50 journalists killed covering the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and its spillover to other regions, including the Lebanon-Israel border area.
