AnIsraeli airstrikeon a compound housing journalists in southeast Lebanon has killed three media staffers, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said Friday.
The Beirut-based pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen TV said two of its staffers were among the journalists killed early Friday. Al-Manar TV of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group said its camera operator Wissam Qassim was killed in the airstrike on the Hasbaya region, that has been spared much of the fighting along the border so far.
Al-Mayadeen said camera operator Ghassan Najar and broadcast technician Mohammed Rida died.
Several journalists have been killed since exchange of fire began along the Lebanon-Israel border in early October last year.
