An Israeli airstrike on a compound housing journalists in southeast Lebanon has killed three media staffers, according to Lebanon's National News Agency. Local station Al Jadeed displayed footage of collapsed buildings and dust-covered automobiles marked "PRESS" at the scene, which included a complex of chalets rented by several media agencies. The Israeli army apparently provided no notice before the strike, reported the Associated Press.

According to the AP report, Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV claimed that two of its employees, camera operator Ghassan Najar and broadcast technician Mohammed Rida, were among those slain. According to Lebanon's Hezbollah-linked Al-Manar TV, camera operator Wissam Qassim was also killed in the Hasbaya hit.
