🔴 Video shared by Press TV correspondent Hadi Hoteit appears to show the moment an Israeli drone targeted him with a strike while he was filming in southern Lebanon. Hoteit notes he was standing in an open area, clearly identified as press with markings on his car, vest, helmet, and equipment, when the drone targeted his position. He was wounded by six different pieces of shrapnel, and described the attack as a war crime.
Full video below.
Israeli drones targeted me while I was clearly filming a report in an open space with all requirements (press signs on the car, vest and helmet with press signs, cellphones open and not doing anything else.
I was told that Lebanese army was blocking the road somewhere, so i went there searching for where the Lebanese army is.
I stopped at Arnoun-Yohmor-Kfartebnit roundabout because i didn't want to go further.
I got outside my car, with my cameras in the cage and my microphone with PressTV logo.
I was filming when the Israeli drones deliberately attacked where I was standing, and not my car.
Two brave men were able to come to my rescue after about 15 to 20 minutes. I was trying to get away from my car as I was expecting they might retarget it.
6 shrapnels hit my body (1 right chest, 3 right leg, 2 left leg).
I am better now.
Targeting journalists is a war crime.
I wish if any international legal side was able to benefit from this video to
Glory to the resistance, our only hope in front of those zionist criminals.
