Three Lebanese journalists were killed, Friday morning, in the village of Hasbya as they were sleeping in a vicious Israeli attack.
It was a dawn raid that killed Al Mayadeen cameraman Ghassan Najjar and broadcast engineer Mohammad Reda. The raid also killed Wissam Kassem who worked, also as a cameraman for Al Manar TV.
News is trending on the social media with reports of a compound that was struck in the Hasbaya village that also resulted in the wounding of three other journalists.
The Lebanese Civil Defense confirmed the martyrdom of the three journalists who were deliberately targeted.
Charred vehicles in the compound were clearly marked with the “Press” logo according to the Lebanese media.
The targeting of the guest-house compound in the south-east of the country has sparked an international outcry on the need to protect journalists.
One blogger says: “The Zionist cowards have murdered three Lebanese journalists in their beds as they slept,” whilst the “compound in Hasbaiyya was bombed deliberately and with warning by Israel.”
A Lebanese minister calls the killing of the three journalists as a war crime.
