Cuba condemns Israeli attack on Al-Mayadeen channel headquarters in Beirut
Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez condemned today the recent Israeli attack against the facilities of the Arab television channel Al Mayadeen in Beirut, Lebanon.
Through the social network X, the Cuban diplomat affirmed that the act constitutes a clear violation of International Humanitarian Law.
The Israeli occupying army bombed the day before the office of the pan-Arab channel in the Lebanese capital, which had been evacuated since the beginning of the aggression against that country.
Following the attack, the Minister of Information in the Lebanese interim government, Ziad Makari, said that the Executive will take appropriate measures and will file the corresponding complaint with the international authorities about this hostile act.
This day, the continuous Israeli bombardments claimed the lives of at least three journalists and wounded several others in the town of Hassbeya, in southern Lebanon, in what Lebanese authorities defined as an evident attempt to silence the truth about the Zionist massacre.
Al-Mayadeen lamented the death in the missile attack of cameraman Ghassan Najjar and broadcast technician Muhammad Redha, while Al-Manar channel confirmed the death of cameraman Wissam Qassem, and the Lebanese Civil Defense announced that three communicators were killed in the raid.
The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health announced that the death toll from the brutal Zionist aggressions rose to 2,593 dead and 12,119 wounded, while three military personnel were killed in an air raid.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, more than a hundred journalists have been killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023 in the Gaza Strip and in Lebanon.
