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.

The three worked for Lebanese news organizations, their employers said. Lebanon’s health ministry said they had been staying in a residence housing journalists.
