BEIRUT (AP) — An Israeli airstrike that hit a guesthouse in southeast Lebanon has killed three journalists who were covering the Israel-Hezbollah war. Those killed were camera operator Ghassan Najjar and broadcast technician Mohammed Rida of the Beirut-based pan-Arab Al-Mayadeen TV, and camera operator Wissam Qassim, who worked for Al-Manar TV of Lebanon’s Hezbollah group. It came after a strike earlier in the week that hit an office belonging to Al-Mayadeen on the outskirts of Beirut’s southern suburbs. The journalists were killed Friday in the Hasbaya region, which has been spared much of the fighting along the border so far. Many of the journalists staying there had moved there from the nearby town of Marjayoun for safety after Israel issued an evacuation warning.
