An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon on Saturday killed three journalists who were covering the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, their TV stations said. Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV said its longtime correspondent Ali Shoeib was killed in southern Lebanon. A well-known Lebanese war correspondent, Mr Shoeib had covered southern Lebanon for al-Manar TV for nearly three decades. The Israeli army claimed that Mr Shoeib was “operating systematically to expose the locations of (Israeli) soldiers operating in southern Lebanon”. The official said most of the projectiles were aimed at Israeli soldiers operating in southern Lebanon and only 23 crossed into Israel.
