Al-Manar TV of Lebanon\u2019s Hezbollah group said its camera operator Wissam Qassim was also killed in the airstrike on the Hasbaya region.<\/p>\n<p>The Israeli military did not immediately comment on the strike.<\/p>\n<p>Ali Shoeib, Al-Manar\u2019s well-known correspondent in south Lebanon, was seen in a video filming himself with a cellphone saying that the camera operator who had been working with him for months was killed. Shoeib said the Israeli military knew that the area that was struck housed journalists of different media organizations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were reporting the news and showing the suffering of the victims and now we are the news and the victims of Israel\u2019s crimes,\u201d Shoeib added in the video aired on Al-Manar TV.<\/p>\n<p>The Hasbaya region has been spared much of the violence along the border and many of the journalists now staying there have moved from the nearby town of Marjayoun that has been subjected to sporadic strikes in recent weeks. Earlier in the week, a strike hit an office belonging to Al-Mayadeen on the outskirts of Beirut\u2019s southern suburbs, according to Lebanon\u2019s Health Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>Several journalists have been killed since exchange of fire began along the Lebanon-Israel border in early October last year.<\/p>\n<p>In November 2023, <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/lebanon-israel-almayadeen-journalists-killed-farah-omar-a0c4f1bc13582231117c98d54c477b2b\">two journalists for Al-Mayadeen TV were killed<\/a><\/span> in a drone strike.
