Hundreds of mourners gathered in driving rain in the Lebanese capital, Beirut, on Sunday to bury two prominent Lebanese television journalists and a cameraman killed in an Israeli airstrike a day earlier.
Israel said it had targeted one of the three, Ali Choeib, a correspondent for Lebanese television network Al-Manar, which is owned by Hezbollah, the Iran-backed Lebanese militant group. Israel said he was a member of Hezbollah’s military wing “disguised as a journalist.”
Fatima Ftouni, a correspondent with Al-Mayadeen, a Lebanese broadcaster aligned with Hezbollah, was also killed along with her brother, cameraman Mohammad Ftouni. It was not immediately clear who he was working for at the time of his death.
