Israeli Airstrike Kills Three Journalists Covering War In Lebanon As They Slept

An Israeli airstrike killed three journalists as they slept at a guesthouse in southeast Lebanon at dawn on Friday, in one of the deadliest attacks on the media since hostilities broke out across the border a year ago.

It was a rare airstrike on an area that had so far been spared airstrikes and has been used by the media as a base for covering the war.

The 3 a.m. airstrike turned the site — a series of chalets nestled among trees that had been rented by various media outlets covering the war — into rubble, with cars marked “PRESS” overturned and covered in dust and debris and at least one satellite dish for live broadcasting totally destroyed.
