Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has strongly condemned Israel’s killing of three journalists in southern Lebanon this weekend, calling it a "targeted assassination" and a "violation of international law." 🌍✊ The incident, which occurred on Saturday, has sparked outrage across the region.
Lebanese officials confirmed that an Israeli air strike hit a car in Jezzine, killing four people—including Ali Shoaib (Al-Manar), Fatima Ftouni (Al-Mayadeen), and cameraman Mohammad Ftouni. Araghchi expressed condolences, stating the act "undermines press freedom."
Israel’s military claimed Shoaib was part of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force intelligence unit, operating under journalistic cover, but provided no evidence. Critics argue the strike risks escalating tensions amid already fragile cross-border relations. 🔥
As of Sunday, international press freedom groups are urging an independent investigation. With conflicting narratives, the incident highlights the dangers journalists face in conflict zones. 📰💔
