After murdering hundreds of Palestinian journalists and their families in Gaza, Israel has exported its targeting of reporters to Lebanon. The occupation murdered Ali Nour Al-Din, a television journalist with Lebanese broadcaster Al-Manar, in a strike on the southern city of Tyre. Nour Al-Din was severely wounded in the strike yesterday, 26 January 2025, and died of his wounds today.

Israel is set on seizing territory in southern Lebanon that it has already begun to sell to illegal settlers. It has bombed Lebanon multiple times daily, despite a supposed ‘ceasefire’ that it has never honoured. The ‘you cease, we’ll fire‘ has been in place since Israel’s double-wave of terrorist attacks using exploding pagers and radios. The attacks killed and maimed thousands across Lebanon, including children.

We note that Israel’s war on journalists in Lebanon began on 13 October 2023, with a tank strike on a clearly marked gathering of reporters from multiple news agencies. The attack killed Reuters journalist — and friend of the Canary — Issam Abdallah, and wounded six others.

The targeting of journalists represents a dangerous escalation and a potential precursor to a renewed invasion by the terror state.
