Caught on camera: IDF drone strike wounds Hezbollah-linked reporter moments before broadcast
Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shabib and a cameraman were lightly wounded near Nabatieh while preparing a report, six months after Israel killed senior network reporter Ali Shuaib, whom the IDF accused of serving in Hezbollah’s Radwan Force
An Al-Manar television correspondent, Ali Shabib, and cameraman, Mohammed Barjawi, sustained light injuries in an Israeli drone strike near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon on Sunday. Dramatic footage captured the moment the blast interrupted their preparations for a live report. Al-Manar, a Hezbollah-affiliated network, stated the two were in stable condition and expected to return to work soon. This incident follows the death of senior Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shuaib in a March Israeli strike, whom the IDF identified as a Hezbollah Radwan Force member operating under journalistic cover. Hezbollah-affiliated media, such as Al-Akhbar, accused Israel of deliberately targeting media personnel to prevent reporting on civilian casualties. The strike occurred amidst escalating tensions along the Israel-Lebanon front, with ongoing IDF operations against Hezbollah infrastructure and retaliatory strikes following Hezbollah drone launches and gunfire.
