🇱🇧 Journalist Hadi Hoteit remains hospitalized after Israel targeted him with a drone strike while he was reporting in southern Lebanon on Monday. Reporter Courtney Bonneau says Hoteit’s X-rays show his “body is full of shrapnel and he’s lucky to be alive.”
Hoteit was clearly identifiable as a journalist, wearing press-marked protective gear, carrying a Press TV microphone, and filming in an open area when an Israeli drone dropped an explosive munition roughly one meter from him.
Video shared by him shows the moment of the strike. Despite the documented evidence, the targeting of Hoteit has received no attention from any mainstream Western media outlet.
The Israeli army has violated the new ceasefire almost 100 times, killed four civilians yesterday and kidnapping four others. Report from Nabatieh.
