On Monday, two Israeli strikes targeted a team of journalists from several media outlets covering field developments in the southern Lebanese village of Yaroun.

According to media reports, as reporters gathered in Yaroun to cover an earlier strike on a house in the town, they got targeted twice by a drone. The second missile was captured on air as a journalist was reporting the first attack.

Al Jazeera said the bombing injured its photographer Issam Mawasi, and damaged the media network's vehicle.

On Oct. 14, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry submitted a complaint to the UN Security Council about Israel's deliberate killing of Lebanese photojournalist Issam Abdallah, who worked for Reuters.

On Oct. 13, an Israeli bombing targeted journalist crews on the outskirts of the town of Alma al-Shaab in southern Lebanon, killing Abdallah and wounding five other journalists from Reuters, Agence France-Presse, and Al Jazeera.
