Hamas issued the following statement:
“The movement condemns in the strongest terms the criminal targeting operation carried out by the occupation army of a vehicle carrying a number of journalists and correspondents in southern Lebanon, which resulted in the martyrdom of Al-Manar TV correspondent Ali Shuaib, Al-Mayadeen TV correspondent Fatima Fattouni, and photojournalist Mohamed Fattouni, and affirms that this crime is a continuation of the criminal policy pursued by the occupation government against journalists, which represents a blatant violation of all international norms and laws. And the laws of war.
The fascist occupation army’s claim of the horrific murder of journalists and correspondents performing their professional duty to report what this terrorist army is committing against innocent civilians, and its boasting about targeting journalist Ali Shuaib and his colleagues; It is an embodiment of the terrorist occupation entity’s disregard for the international community and international laws and conventions, and its guarantee of impunity for its crimes that it continues to commit before the eyes of the world, due to American support and cover.
As we mourn the martyred journalists who died in deliberate and systematic killings at the hands of the terrorist occupation army in Lebanon, Palestine and everywhere; We call on the international community, all human rights institutions, media and journalistic institutions, and media professionals around the world, to condemn the occupation’s crimes against journalists, impose deterrent sanctions on it, hold its leaders accountable, and expose their crimes against humanity.”
