Martyrs of journalism in support of Palestine

Al Mayadeen's correspondent, Farah Omar, and cameraman, Rabih Me'mari, were deliberately killed earlier today in an Israeli airstrike on their location in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon, marking a new episode in the long series of crimes committed by the occupation entity.

An Israeli drone fired two rockets at their location, which resulted in their immediate martyrdom.

Farah and Rabih had just ended a live broadcast at 10 am, giving updates on the latest Israeli bombardment in South Lebanon. She and her colleague, alongside a civilian who was accompanying them, Hussein Akil, were targeted soon after they wrapped up their coverage and went off air.
