Hundreds of mourners paid their respects in Beirut to two reporters working for pan-Arab station Al Mayadeen who were killed the previous day in an Israeli air strike on south Lebanon, Reuters reports.

The crowds gathered around the two coffins of correspondent Farah Omar and camera operator Rabih al-Maamari, both draped in Lebanese flags and topped with wreaths of flowers, outside the Al Mayadeen headquarters in Beirut.
