Israel’s favorite Pastime Assassination of Journalists Ali Shuaib and Fatima Fattouneh

An Israeli airstrike targeted a vehicle carrying a media team in the Jezzine area, killing Al Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Ftouni and Al Manar correspondent Ali Shuaib. Once again, Israeli strikes are not limited to buildings and homes, but also hit those reporting on the events and documenting the war moment by moment from the frontlines.

Targeting journalists is not a side detail of this war, but part of a broader reality in which civilian lives are disregarded and even the act of telling the story is under attack. In a country already living under fire, the loss of those covering the tragedy becomes another layer of the tragedy itself.
