Iran (IMNA) -According to a report from Lebanon's al-Mayadeen news channel, Israeli occupation forces intentionally targeted two members of its TV crew near the town of Tir Harfa, located approximately one mile from the southern border. The victims, identified as Farah Omar, a correspondent, and Rabie al-Memari, a camera operator, were covering the violence along the border with Israel.
The attack on these journalists highlights the dangers faced by media professionals reporting on conflicts and seeking to shed light on the truth. The CEO of Press TV strongly condemned this act and called for an immediate investigation into the incident to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
This tragic event serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting journalists and upholding press freedom in all circumstances, particularly during times of conflict.
In a statement posted on Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, expressed strong condemnation towards Israel for the killing of numerous journalists in the Gaza Strip and southern Lebanon. He emphasized the significant role played by reporters in exposing the regime's genocidal crimes.
Amir-Abdollahian specifically mentioned the martyrdom of dozens of journalists and cameramen, including two dedicated Al Mayadeen reporters, during the brutal attacks carried out by what he referred to as the "fake Israeli regime." He underscored the importance of journalists in shedding light on the Israeli regime's acts of genocide and war crimes, while also awakening the global public opinion.
The foreign minister's remarks highlight the gravity of the situation and the need for international attention to the plight of journalists operating in conflict zones. The killing of these journalists not only signifies an attack on press freedom but also serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the region.
