Lebanon president calls Israeli strike on journalists 'blatant crime'

BEIRUT, Lebanon, March 28, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Lebanese President Joseph Aoun 
condemned the Israeli strike that killed a journalist for Hezbollah's Al 
Manar TV and another for the pro-Hezbollah Al Mayadeen channel in southern 
Lebanon on Saturday.

"Once again, the Israeli aggression violates the most basic rules of 
international law, international humanitarian law and the laws of war, by 
targeting journalists, who are ultimately civilians performing a professional 
duty," Aoun said in a statement released by the presidency.

"This is a blatant crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which 
journalists enjoy international protection in wars."
