"Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos condemned the Israeli strike, saying on social media that such attacks were sparing neither journalistic nor media crews. We declare our solidarity and condolences to the media family, and call on the international community to fully assume its responsibilities and take urgent action to put an end to these violations and ensure the protection of media professionals in Lebanon, the minister said."
"Earlier on Monday, Lebanon's Ministry of Health said in a statement that one person was killed in an Israeli air strike in Tyre, although it did not immediately announce the name of the victim. The ministry added that a separate Israeli strike killed two other people in Kfar Rumman near the city of Nabatieh. The Israeli military later admitted to the killing of al-Din, whom it referred to as a Hezbollah member, and said it struck two other people"
Ali Nour al-Din, a presenter for Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar TV and main preacher in Al-Hawsh near Tyre, was killed in an Israeli strike in Tyre. Hezbollah described the killing as a treacherous assassination and warned that Israel's extended escalations risk targeting the media community. Lebanese Minister of Information Paul Morcos condemned the strike, expressed solidarity with media families, and urged the international community to protect media professionals. Lebanon's Health Ministry reported one death in Tyre and two others in Kfar Rumman. The Israeli military acknowledged killing al-Din and said it struck two other people. At least six Lebanese journalists have died since 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
