Al-Mayadeen Journalists Come Under Israeli Fire in South Lebanon

Over 130 journalists have been killed by Israeli forces in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip since the war began in October

Israeli forces at the Misgav Am military site on Lebanon’s southern border opened fire at several Lebanese journalists on 12 April.

An Al-Mayadeen crew was driving a vehicle marked with the word PRESS on the Al-Adaisseh road when the car was struck by several Israeli army bullets.

Israeli troops also opened fire at civilian cars along the same road, the outlet’s correspondent reported, adding that the attacks were witnessed by UNIFIL forces. No injuries were reported in the incident.

This was not the first time Al-Mayadeen journalists were attacked by the Israeli army.

In November 2023, correspondent Farah Omar and her colleagues Rabie al-Maamari and Hussein Aqeel were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the town of Tair Harfa, southern Lebanon. At the start of the war the month before, Reuters photographer Issam Abdullah was killed by Israeli tank shelling in the southern Lebanese village of Alma al-Shaab.

Over 130 journalists have been killed by Israel in Gaza and Lebanon since the start of the war in October.
