The latest victims were a cameraman and a reporter from a Lebanese television station who worked in southern Lebanon near the border with Israel.
Management at the television station where they worked said the attack came from an Israeli drone that specifically targeted the team because the station is proPalestinian and proIranian. Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati said it was another attempt by Israel to silence the press.
Israel denied attacking the journalists, saying the region was a theater of conflict and that it would analyze the journalists’ deaths.
