Beirut, March 28 (Xinhua) — Four people, including three journalists, were killed around midday on Saturday when an Israeli airstrike hit a car in the Jezzine district of southern Lebanon, Lebanese officials said.
The dead journalists were identified as Al-Manar TV correspondent Ali Shuaib, Al-Mayadeen TV reporter Fatima Ftuni and cameraman Mohammad Ftuni.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the attack, calling it a grave violation of international humanitarian law. He stated that journalists are civilians protected by the Geneva Conventions and UN Security Council Resolution 1738, which prohibit attacks on journalists not directly participating in hostilities.
J. Aoun called on international organizations to intervene to stop attacks on Lebanese territory and expressed condolences to the families of the victims and representatives of the media.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) stated on Saturday that A. Shuaib was a member of Hezbollah's elite Radwan intelligence unit and was operating under the cover of a journalist for the Al-Manar television channel, which is affiliated with the movement. However, no evidence was presented to support this claim.
