People mourn two journalists killed by an Israeli air strike in Lebanon

Co-workers came to mourn the loss of two journalists who were killed by an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon on Tuesday while reporting for a Beirut-based TV station on military activity along the border with Israel. The Pan-Arab TV channel Al-Mayadeen identified the journalists killed in the town of Tair Harfa as correspondent Farah Omar and cameraman Rabih Maamari. It said they were “martyred by treacherous Israeli targeting.” The deaths bring the number of journalists who have been killed since the Israel-Palestine war began last month to at least 53, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Most were Palestinian journalists working in the Gaza Strip.
