Al-Mayadeen Journalist Killed in Israeli Airstrike in South Lebanon

A journalist from the pan-Arab network Al-Mayadeen was killed in Israeli airstrikes while at his home in southern Lebanon, the network reported on Tuesday.

Hadi Al-Sayyed, 22, became the third journalist from the network to lose his life in the ongoing conflict between the Israeli military and Hezbollah. The network stated that he was injured on Monday and succumbed to his injuries the following day.

Al-Sayyed worked in the online division of Al-Mayadeen and was at his residence in the town of Burj Rahhal, near Tyre in southern Lebanon, when the airstrike occurred.

In November last year, two other members of Al-Mayadeen, correspondent Farah Omar and cameraman Rabih Al-Maamari, were killed in an Israeli strike while covering events in southern Lebanon.

Additionally, Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah was killed in Israeli shelling last October while reporting on clashes in Lebanon alongside colleagues from Al-Jazeera and Agence France-Presse. Although Abdallah’s colleagues were injured in the attack, they survived.
