The incident took place near the town of Tir Harfa, about 1.6km (1 mile) from the Israeli border, the Lebanese state news agency reported, according to Al-Jazeera.
The Lebanese Al-Mayadeen news network, which is close to Resistance forces across the West Asia region, reported that "Al Mayadeen's correspondent, Farah Omar, and cameraman Rabih Al-Me'mari were murdered earlier today in an Israeli airstrike in an Israeli attack on their location in Tayr Harfa, South Lebanon."
An Israeli warplane fired two rockets on Farah and Rabih's location, the Local Lebanese new network further said.
Farah and Rabih had just ended a live broadcast at 10 a.m., giving updates on the latest Israeli bombardment in South Lebanon. She and her colleagues were targeted soon after they wrapped up their coverage and went off air, the report added.
“It was a direct attack, it was not by chance,” Al Mayadeen director Ghassan bin Jiddo said, noting it came after an Israeli government decision this month to block access to Al Mayadeen’s website.
Jiddo added that the third person killed was a “contributor” to the channel.
Dozens of journalists have been killed in Israeli regime airstrikes since the start of the aggression on October 7.
