General

Jazin: Dr. Omar Al-Bukhaiti, Deputy Minister of Information, has condemned the recent targeting of journalists by the Zionist enemy, which resulted in the death of Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shuaib, Al-Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Fattouni, and her brother, photographer Mohammed Fattouni. The attack, which occurred through two airstrikes on vehicles in the Jazin area of Lebanon, also injured four other cameramen.

According to Yemen News Agency, Dr. Al-Bukhaiti expressed that this violent act aims to suppress the truth and silence those who reveal the Zionist entity's crimes against the Lebanese and Palestinian peoples. He described the assassination of these journalists as a reflection of the entity's failure to achieve victories and criticized the targeting of media professionals as a crime against humanity, press freedom, and journalism.

Dr. Al-Bukhaiti emphasized that such acts will not deter journalists dedicated to exposing the crimes and terrorism of the Zionist entity. He highlighted that targeting journalists is a systematic policy to intimidate truth-bearers, while praising the resilience and steadfastness of journalists in Lebanon and occupied Palestine.

The Deputy Minister urged Arab and international media unions to denounce this crime and take action against the Zionist entity's aggression towards journalists. He extended his condolences to the families of the martyrs and wishes a swift recovery for the injured.
