"The Israeli military claimed that Shoeib was operating systematically to expose the locations of Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon and accused him of maintaining contact with Hezbollah militants."
"Lebanon's President Joseph Aoun condemned the airstrike as a 'flagrant crime that violates all laws and agreements that protect journalists.'"
"Al-Manar TV described Shoeib as 'distinguished by his professional and credible reporting of events,' without responding to the Israeli allegations."
