Three journalists were killed on Saturday during an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon while on duty. On Sunday morning, hundreds of people gathered at a cemetery in a southern suburb of Beirut to attend their farewell ceremony. The victims were identified as Ali Shoeib, Fatima Faitani, and Mohammad Faitani. Ali Shoeib was a well-known reporter for Al Manar, a Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese television station.

The Israeli military, IDF, described Shoeib as a member of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force intelligence unit but provided no evidence to support the claim. The IDF did not comment on the deaths of the two journalists from the Faitani family. Fatima Faitani worked as a correspondent for Al Mayadeen channel, while her brother Mohammad Faitani was a cameraman.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the killings as an “open crime” that violated the most fundamental rules of international law, according to the report sourced from the BBC.
