On Wednesday, Al Mayadeen said the Israeli army had attacked one of its offices in southern Beirut.

Three media workers were killed and three others injured in an Israeli airstrike on a residence housing journalists in southern Lebanon, the Lebanese Health Ministry said on Friday.

The pro-Iran Al Mayadeen TV reported that a cameraman and a technician linked to the broadcaster were killed in an Israeli attack early Friday.

This happened in a residence in Hasbiyya town in southern Lebanon.
