Journalists, Medics Killed in Lebanon War

0:00On March 29th, hundreds gathered in the rain in Beirut for funerals of three journalists killed by Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon. These reporters were covering the ground invasion when their vehicle got hit near Jezine on the highway between Nabiti and Seedone. A second blast struck as colleagues rushed in, and even an ambulance responding was targeted. Meanwhile, the killings fit a bigger pattern of strikes on media workers. Like the committee to protect journalists, say reporters are protected under war rules like the Geneva Conventions, no matter their outlet. Critics call it a war crime aimed at silencing coverage of the conflict. Moners were heartbroken, with some saying it's like targeting messengers of the war. Women sobbed holding posters of the journalists in Preskyr. Lebanon's journalist union echoed that comparing it to tactics seen in Gaza. Attacks have ramped up on health spots too. A clinic in Dear Kifa was hit Sunday, shutting it down, and an ambulance strike killed a paramedic and patient.
