Media: Two journalists killed in the Israeli-Lebanese border region
Two journalists and another civilian were killed by shelling in the south of Lebanon on Tuesday. The official Lebanese agency Ani reported that the three civilians were killed in an Israeli attack in the southern region of Tair Harfa. The "enemy's bombardment" had hit them, Ani reported.
Shortly afterwards, the Lebanese TV station Al-Majadeen reported that two of its journalists were among the casualties. Reporter Farah Omar and cameraman Rabih Maamari had been killed.
Shortly before, Ani had reported that an 80-year-old woman had been killed in another Israeli attack on the southern village of Kfar Kila. Her granddaughter was injured and taken to hospital.
Since the major attack by the radical Islamic Palestinian organization Hamas on Israel on 7 October, tensions in the Israeli-Lebanese border region have increased significantly. There have been repeated attacks between Israeli troops and the Iranian-backed Shiite Hezbollah militia.
The media attention on the Middle East war intensified further after the reporting of two journalists from Al-Majadeen being killed in a border area between Israel and Lebanon. This incident occurred following a series of attacks in the region, including the fatal shelling of civilians in Tair Harfa.
