Friday was the deadliest day for journalists in Lebanon over the last year. At least five other reporters have been killed in Israeli strikes while on assignment in Lebanon, including Reuters visuals journalist Issam Abdallah.

On Tuesday, Israeli soldiers fired at a permanent UNIFIL observation post near Dhayra, forcing the on-duty guards to withdraw to avoid being shot, UNIFIL said. No peacekeepers were injured in any of these incidents, according to UNIFIL.

Lebanon's Iran-backed Hezbollah group said on Saturday that it launched a drone attack against Israel's Tel Nof airbase, south of Tel Aviv, and had also targetted an intelligence base in the northern Israeli city of Safed with a rocket salvo.
