Journalists in south Lebanon say targeted in Israeli strikes

Journalists in southern Lebanon said they were targeted in Israeli strikes, which the Al Jazeera network said lightly wounded its photographer, AFP reports.

A local mayor and Lebanese state media corroborated the journalists’ account of the cross-border incident, which came exactly a month after deadly strikes blamed on Israel hit a press group near Alma al-Shaab in southern Lebanon.

Contacted by AFP, the Israeli army did not immediately comment on the latest strikes.

Around a dozen journalists from several media outlets were on a tour to inspect damage from Israeli bombardments and had been providing coverage from the border town of Yarun when the strikes hit.
