#Israel #Strikes #Beirut #Suburbs & #Hotel in #Hasbaya, #Journalists Among #Fatalities

Early Friday morning, Israel’s IDF launched airstrikes in Beirut’s southern suburbs and on a hotel in Hasbaya, where multiple journalists lost their lives. The strike on Hasbaya, reported by the Hezbollah-affiliated Al Mayadeen, tragically claimed the lives of journalists, including photographer Ghassan Najjar, broadcast engineer Mohammad Reda, and camera operator Wissam Qassem. Hours before, IDF spokesperson Avichay Adraee had issued evacuation warnings to residents near Chouaifet El Aamroussieh, a suburb south of Beirut, citing Hezbollah’s presence. Strikes reportedly targeted Hezbollah weapon storage and production sites embedded in civilian areas—a practice Israel claims endangers civilians. As tensions rise, media fatalities underscore the escalating risks.
