Since the aggression against Gaza, Israel has continued its aggressive and criminal operations in southern Lebanon, the Beqaa, and other Lebanese regions as part of its open war since 1948 against Lebanon and its south. Examples of these criminal operations that targeted civilians and destroyed homes can be cited as follows:
- On 10/13/2023, Israeli artillery bombed a press team in the town of Aita al-Shaab, killing a photojournalist and wounding 5 journalists. The martyrs were Farah Omar and photographer Rabei Al-Maamari from Al-Mayadeen TV. Israeli artillery bombed a gathering of journalists in the town of Yarin, and Reuter’s photojournalist Issam Abdullah was martyred.
An investigation conducted by Reuters concluded that an Israeli tank crew killed a Reuter’s journalist and wounded six journalists in Lebanon on October 13, 2023. Two strikes killed Reuters photographer Issam Al-Abdullah and seriously injured AFP photographer Christina Assi.
