Lebanon’s Information Minister Paul Morcos says the government has been in contact with the UN peacekeeping mission in southern Lebanon and the Lebanese army regarding reports that Israel was “besieging journalists and photographers” following attacks in the southern town of at-Tiri.

“We strongly condemn this assault, holding Israel fully responsible for their safety, and affirming the necessity of immediately ensuring their protection and guaranteeing freedom of media work,” Morcos said on X.
