Israeli strike kills three journalists in Lebanon

Three Lebanese journalists have been killed in a targeted Israeli strike on their media car in southern Lebanon, local media is reporting.

Ali Shoeib, reporter for Al Manar TV - a network operated by militant group Hezbollah - and Al Mayadin reporters Fatima and Mohamed Fetoni were killed in an air strike in the town of Jezzine.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun condemned the attack as a "blatant crime" that violates international law under which journalists should be protected during war.

Israel's military has confirmed it killed Ali Shoeib in a strike, but accuses him of being a Hezbollah-operative posing as a journalist.

This is the second time Israel has been accused of targeting journalists in Lebanon since the war broke out.

Last week, Mohammad Sherri - a prominent presenter at Al Manar TV - and his wife were killed in a targeted strike.

So far, more than 1100 civilians, including 120 Children and 42 paramedics, have been killed in Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon.

Many in Lebanon are worried that Israel is using similar tactics which it has been accused of deploying in Gaza - including the deliberate targeting of civilians, journalists and paramedics, which Israel has denied.

A clinic located close to the Shajareh Tayyebeh Primary School in Minab county - which was hit on the first day of the war - has been attacked, an Iranian official has said.

The Political, Security, and Social Deputy Governor Ahmad Nafisi, of the southern Hormozgan province, says the attack caused "damage to the storage facilities" at the Martyr Absalan Clinic.

Iran's Fars News Agency, which is affiliated to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), cites Nafisi as saying the US and Israel used "several drones" in the attack on the medical complex.

"Fortunately, this attack did not lead to any casualties," he says, adding an investigation into the extent of the attack is under way.

The area had been evacuated following the fatal strike on the primary school on 28 February - when the US and Israel launched their offensive against Iran. Iranian officials say the attack on the school involved two missile strikes in quick succession, killing at least 168 people, including about 110 children.

US media have reported that American military investigators believe its own forces were likely responsible for hitting the school unintentionally, while US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the matter is being investigated.

Nafisi adds: "Today the whole world knows that the area targeted by the enemy is by no means military, yet we are once again witnessing an attack on this area, which clearly proves the deliberate nature of the attack on Shajareh Tayebeh School in Minab and the killing of 168 pupils and teachers."
