BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

According to the most recent data from the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), at least 23 journalists have been murdered in the first two weeks of the Israeli aggression on Gaza, with many reported injured or missing.

Among the 23 journalists, 19 were Palestinians, three were Israeli, and one was Lebanese, killed on the Lebanese-Palestinian border by Israeli airstrikes, per the CPJ. 

The Beirut-based Reuters videographer, Issam Abdallah, was killed in southern Lebanon Friday by an Israeli airstrike that injured six other journalists, including two Reuters journalists and journalists from AFP and Al Jazeera.

Reuters Editor-in-Chief Alessandra Galloni on Monday called on "Israel" to open an investigation into Abdallah's death, saying: "Eyewitnesses at the scene said the shell that killed Islam [Issam] came from Israel."

Three days after the airstrikes began on October 7, journalists Saeed Al-Taweel and Mohammad Sobh were martyred in an Israeli bombing that targeted areas in the western Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported, leaving an injured journalist identified as Hisham al-Nwajha.

Violating international law

Under international humanitarian law, journalists are considered protected civilians and are prohibited from being directly targeted in attacks.

Sherif Mansour, CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, relayed: "CPJ emphasizes that journalists are civilians doing important work during times of crisis and must not be targeted by warring parties," adding: "Journalists across the region are making great sacrifices to cover this heartbreaking conflict. All parties must take steps to ensure their safety".

The National Press Club urged the US, while it convenes with the Israeli occupation, to "raise the issue of journalist safety for the protection of all journalists working in the field."

The CPJ underlines that journalists in Gaza are under the threat "of a ground assault by Israeli troops, devastating Israeli airstrikes, disrupted communications, and extensive power outages".
