Iran condemns Zionist regime's killing of three journalists in southern Lebanon

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei has condemned a Zionist attack on the residence of journalists in southeastern Lebanon that resulted in the deaths of three media people early Friday.

He said that the killing of the three media people, who worked for Lebanon’s Al Manar and Al Mayadeen news outlets, was another example of Israel’s ongoing war crimes

Baghaei noted that 180 journalists have been killed by Israeli forces over the past year.

He emphasized that journalists and media people are protected under international humanitarian law.

Citing the 1949 Geneva Conventions, particularly the Third Geneva Convention, and the 1977 Additional Protocols, especially Article 79 of the first additional protocol, Baghaei highlighted that these agreements afford journalists serving in conflict zones and their equipment immunity as non-combatants.
