Were the two Lebanese journalists killed by an Israeli airstrike while reporting on military activities near the Lebanese border with Israel for a Beirut-based pan-Arab television station?

Hello, this is DcAnnar. Based on my knowledge and understanding, I'm sharing my insights regarding your questions. I hope that my input proves beneficial to you and enhances your knowledge as well.

Yes, two Lebanese journalists, Farah Omar and Rabih Maamari, were killed by an Israeli airstrike on November 21, 2023, while reporting on military activities near the Lebanese border with Israel. The journalists were working for the Beirut-based pan-Arab television station Al Mayadeen.

The Israeli military said that it was targeting a weapons launching area in southern Lebanon and that it was aware of reports that journalists had been killed in the strike. The Israeli military said that the area where the journalists were killed was an active hostile zone and that it had previously stated that it could not guarantee the safety of journalists in such areas.

The deaths of Omar and Maamari were condemned by Lebanese officials and media organizations. Lebanese caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said that the Israeli airstrike was a "crime" and that Israel was "trying to silence the media." Al Mayadeen said that the journalists were "martyred" by the Israeli airstrike.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) called on Israel to conduct a "full and transparent investigation" into the deaths of Omar and Maamari. The CPJ said that the Israeli military's statement that it could not guarantee the safety of journalists in active hostile zones was "unacceptable" and that Israel was "obliged to take all necessary precautions to protect journalists."

The deaths of Omar and Maamari are a reminder of the dangers that journalists face when reporting on conflict zones. According to the CPJ, more than 1,200 journalists have been killed since 1992 while covering conflict.
