Lebanese media reports that a prominent Hezbollah-affiliated journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike a short while ago.

According to the reports, Ali Shoeib, who works for the Al-Manar TV network associated with Hezbollah, was killed in a strike targeting a car in the southern town of Jezzine.

The strike also reportedly killed Fatima Ftouni, a reporter with the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen channel.
