According to local media outlets, separate Israeli aerial raids on Lebanon on Wednesday claimed the lives of Ghada Dayekh, a presenter with Sawt al-Farah radio station, and Suzan Khalil, a reporter for the Hezbollah-affiliated al-Manar television channel and al-Nour radio station.
The killings come less than a fortnight after three prominent Lebanese journalists were assassinated in an Israeli drone strike against southern Lebanon on March 28. Lebanese media outlets reported at the time that an Israeli unmanned aircraft had fired at least four missiles at a sedan as it traveled along a road on the outskirts of the town of Jezzine, killing all three people onboard. Security sources identified the victims as Ali Shuaib, Mohammed Fatouni and Fatima Fatouni, correspondents for al-Manar and al-Mayadeen television channels.
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun strongly denounced the Israeli act of aggression, vowing that the Beirut government would explore all international channels to stop repeated attacks by the occupying Israeli regime on Lebanese territory.
Also on Wednesday, Mohammed Samir Washah, a correspondent for the Qatar based al-Jazeera Mubasher television news network, was killed by an Israeli drone strike on his car in Gaza City.
