Lebanon says alleged Israeli strike that killed media workers a ‘war crime’

Lebanon accuses Israel of targeting journalists in a “deliberate” attack that killed three media workers in the country’s south on Friday, calling the incident a “war crime.”

The Israeli military has not yet responded to the claim.

Pro-Iran Lebanese television channel Al Mayadeen says cameraman Ghassan Najjar and broadcast engineer Mohammad Reda were killed in the strike on a journalists’ residence in Hasbaya, south Lebanon.

Another TV outlet, Al-Manar, run by Hezbollah, says video journalist Wissam Qassem was also killed in the strike on a bungalow located in a resort that several media organizations covering the Israel-Hezbollah war had rented out.
