BEIRUT, March 28 (V7N) –  Lebanese President Joseph Aoun on Saturday condemned an Israeli strike that killed a journalist for Hezbollah’s Al Manar TV and another for the pro-Hezbollah Al Mayadeen channel in southern Lebanon.  

“Once again, the Israeli aggression violates the most basic rules of international law, international humanitarian law and the laws of war, by targeting journalists, who are ultimately civilians performing a professional duty,” Aoun said in a statement released by the presidency.  

“This is a blatant crime that violates all the norms and treaties under which journalists enjoy international protection in wars,” he added.
