Israeli Drone Strike Injures Lebanese Journalists Amid Escalating Southern Lebanon AttacksPreviousNext

Two journalists from Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar TV, Ali Chbib and Mohammed Barjawi, were injured by an Israeli drone strike in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon, while covering escalating Israeli attacks on the region. Both sustained minor injuries and were hospitalized before being released. The incident occurred amid intensified Israeli airstrikes that have killed at least 27 people, including civilians and medics, in southern Lebanon. Israeli forces cited targeting Hezbollah-related threats, while Lebanese authorities condemned the attacks amid rising regional tensions.
