Palestinian Wafa News Agency reported that photojournalist Mohammad Ayyash was martyred, along with a number of his family members, as a result of a raid carried out by the Israeli occupation that targeted his house in the Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

In Gaza, martyr Ayyash is the latest of 63 other journalists that have also been martyred as a result of direct and deliberate Israeli raids in a clear genocidal policy aimed at assassinating the Palestinian narrative.

The Israeli aggression did not only target journalists in Gaza, but also targeted those in Lebanon, where Al Mayadeen's correspondent Farah Omar, photographer Rabih Me'mari, and freelancer Hussein Akil were martyred earlier on Tuesday.

Our colleagues were martyred as a result of a strike carried out by the Israeli occupation, targeting them on the outskirts of the southern town of Tayr Harfa, while they were performing their professional duty, covering the situation across the southern Lebanese border.

Lebanon files complaint at UNSC over Israeli Al Mayadeen crew killing

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry has officially filed a complaint with the United Nations Security Council over the deliberate killing perpetrated by "Israel" against Al Mayadeen's journalists.

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry asserted that the complaint provides compelling evidence that "Israel" committed this crime within Lebanese territory, distinctly far from the Blue Line at the border with occupied Palestine.

It strongly underscored that the Israeli transgression constitutes an assault on civilians and journalists in the course of their honorable journalistic duties that they carry out while adhering to professional standards.

The Lebanese Foreign Ministry added that the Israeli occupation is adhering to a strategy of targeting and assassinating journalists, noting that this aligns with the occupation's efforts to obstruct the media from portraying the grim reality of its criminal actions.

In response to this atrocity, Lebanon reiterated its call for the Security Council to shoulder its responsibilities in condemning "Israel."
