Acting Defense Minister Maurice Sleem condemned Israel's continued attacks, accusing it of silencing witnesses to its actions.
Following an assault that killed a Lebanese officer, Israel targeted a known media hub in Hasbayya at dawn, where three journalists perished documenting the conflict.
Sleem decried this as another crime in Israel's brutal campaign, urging the international community to heed Lebanon’s calls to end attacks indiscriminately impacting civilians.
Expressing condolences to media outlets Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar, Sleem called for swift action on yesterday’s Paris summit ceasefire appeal, still unmet by Israel’s ongoing violence.
