Information Ministry condemned the Zionist enemy’s targeting “Al-Mayadeen Channel” crew, which led to the martyrdom of the channel’s correspondent, Farah Omar, and the photographer, Rabei Al-Maamari, while carrying out their media duties on the Lebanese border with occupied Palestine.

The Ministry confirmed in a statement issued by it that the approved Zionist bombing Al-Mayadeen Channel crew was preceded by many attacks and systematic targeting of media crews, journalists, and their families in the occupied territories, which led to the death and injury of dozens.

It pointed out that targeting media professionals are war crimes that contradict all international norms and laws, as these crimes come in the context of the Zionists’ efforts to silence free voices and obscure the truth about the war crimes and genocide committed against tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza Strip and the occupied territories.

Information Ministry called on Arab and international federations, unions, and media outlets to condemn and expose the systematic targeting of journalists , media outlets by the Zionist entity and expose it to global public opinion.
