"Three journalists were killed in an Israeli air strike as they slept in a residential compound housing media workers in southern Lebanon in the early hours of Friday, an attack condemned as a war crime by the Lebanese government.
Those killed include cameraman Ghassan Najjar and broadcast engineer Mohammad Reda, who worked for Al Mayadeen, a pro-Hizbollah and pro-Iran Lebanese TV channel, the network said. Hizbollah’s Al Manar TV said its camera operator Wissam Qassim was also killed in the air strike.
Local media broadcast live from the scene in Hasbaya, showing multiple bungalows reduced to rubble, with several cars visibly marked “PRESS” crumpled among them.
The attack is the latest indication that Israel has widened the scope of its targets in Lebanon beyond Hizbollah military infrastructure, striking rescue workers, financial institutions and journalists as well as local government buildings."

No surprise, really.
The murderous regime wants to stop evidence getting out.
