Lebanon has strongly condemned an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon that killed three journalists, calling it a “blatant war crime.” The victims included reporters from Al-Manar and Al-Mayadeen, targeted while traveling in a vehicle away from active frontlines. Israel claimed one journalist was a Hezbollah operative but provided no evidence and did not address the other deaths. Lebanese officials announced plans to raise the issue with international bodies, stressing that journalists are protected civilians under international law. The incident comes amid intensifying regional conflict, with growing concerns over the safety of media personnel and rising civilian casualties. (PC: X)
