An Israeli strike hit a car in southern Lebanon, killing three Lebanese journalists—Ali Shaib of Al Manar and Fatima Ftouni with cameraman Mohammed Ftouni of Al Mayadeen—according to Al Manar. Israel said Shaib was a Hezbollah-linked operative involved in reporting locations of soldiers and incitement, a claim Hezbollah denied and for which no evidence was provided. Lebanon’s president condemned the attack as a brazen violation of international protections for civilians and journalists, as the region remains tense amid broader Iran-linked hostilities. The killings follow other journalist deaths in the area, underscoring risks to reporters covering the conflict.
