The headline is misleading. Terrorists fleeing a building were being targeted and the 'journalist' of a pro Hezbollah paper died in the vicinity. "Targeted Israeli airstrikes" makes it sound like they intentionally targeted the Hezbollah propagandist, not that I'd be weeping over that. To be clear this 'journalist' worked for Al-Akhbar which is an outlet supportive of Hezbollah.

So he was a terrorist *and* a journalist? Seems like a pretty bad omission.

That is the state of the mainstream media today. They're rooting for Islamic extremist terrorists, mass murderers and rapists.

Mainstream media in general, or in specific places? Majority of the mainstream media here in the US aren't rooting for any of those things, they're just calling out how it was dumb for the US to get involved especially without a clear goal, as well as how mishandled the conflict has been.

You don't need to believe the IDF. They always bring evidence when making claims, unlike its enemies who lie constantly.

"Evidence". The IDF have been found lying in the past.

False. Also, we're talking about how Lebanon lied. You are changing the subject so we don't talk about how Lebanon lied. Lebanon lied. I'm not going to let you change the subject.

I don't have to prove anything. Lebanon made the claim, Lebanon has to provide evidence to prove it.

The dead journalist isn't enough proof?

There is no proof that this person was a journalist or that they died. Lebanon merely claimed it.

Yep. Its hilarious that these people take anyone at their word over there when [the **majority** of “journalists” killed in Gaza turned out to be terrorists](https://www.terrorism-info.org.il/app/uploads/2025/12/172_25_E.pdf)

The [majority of the “journalists” killed in the Gaza war turned out to be members of terrorist groups](https://www.terrorism-info.org.il/app/uploads/2025/12/172_25_E.pdf) by all accountings.
