Israel tries to murder RT journalists in Lebanon

The Israeli occupation has tried to murder RT‘s Lebanon bureau chief Steve Sweeney and his cameraman Ali Rida. Both men were wounded in the attack.

Sweeney was speaking to camera in southern Lebanon about Israel’s illegal invasion and resistance responses when an Israeli missile roared in, narrowly missing the two men – who were both clearly identified as press:

Sweeney has said that he is fine and has already had shrapnel from the bomb removed. Rida said:

We were wearing [press] uniform. The Israeli enemy targeted us deliberately.

Israel has repeatedly killed and maimed journalists in Lebanon, copying its tactics that have murdered hundreds of journalists and their families in Gaza.
