Lebanese Journalist Injured in Israeli Strike

A Lebanese television journalist and his cameraman were injured on September 6, 2026, when an Israeli airstrike hit near their position in Nabatieh, southern Lebanon. AlManar TV correspondent Ali Chbib and cameraman Mohammad Berjawi were preparing to go live on air when the strike occurred, sending debris and fire into the air. Footage captured the moment of the blast, which forced the journalist to duck for cover before the broadcast feed was cut. Both Chbib and Berjawi sustained cuts and bruises to their limbs from flying debris and were taken to a local hospital for treatment. According to their channel, they were released after medical examinations and are expected to resume work soon. The incident took place amid an escalation of Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, which Lebanese authorities have stated is part of an effort to undermine a framework agreement aimed at ending the conflict. The Israeli military acknowledged it was aware of reports that a journalist was harmed in the vicinity of what it described as terrorist infrastructure during its operations.
