03:21The aftermath of an alleged Israeli strike on a compound housing reporters in Hasbaya, southern Lebanon, was seen on Friday.
Footage shows the destroyed roof of a house, damaged cars and debris. According to reports, Al-Manar TV cameraman Wissam Qassem, as well as Al Mayadeen TV cameraman Ghassan Najjar and technician Mohammad Reda were all killed, and three other reporters were injured.
"I went to sleep at 12 o'clock, at 3:30 am, I felt that I heard a loud sound. I was sleeping on my left side, and felt a massive weight fell on me that I was unable to move at all, I stayed on my left side breathing in the dust," said Hassan Hattit, one of those injured. "I tried to pull my hand out to cover my mouth to avoid suffocating."
Owner of the resort, Anwar Abu Ghida, said that all the remaining reporters had left for Beirut. According to media reports, seven organisations and over a dozen journalists had been using the facility.
Lebanon's information ministry described the attack as a 'war crime', while Israel had not commented on the strike at time of publication but has previously strongly denied targeting journalists.
Israel has conducted a ground incursion into parts of southern Lebanon, as well as an ongoing campaign of airstrikes on Hezbollah targets since last month. Lebanon's Ministry of Health stated that 2,574 had been killed and over 12,000 injured at time of publication.
The current escalation between Israel and Hezbollah began with explosions of wireless communications devices used by Hezbollah, which killed dozens and injured thousands. The sides have exchanged cross-border strikes since the outbreak of the 2023 Gaza war.
