Israel has been striking bridges in Lebanon in order to block Hezbollah supply chains, but there happened to be an RT reporter doing a report at the al-Qasmiya Bridge when Israel struck it.
Watch below:
Both the reporter and cameraman survived but are said to have shrapnel wounds.
Why this reporter wasn’t wearing protective gear I do not know. But I’m pretty sure, assuming he is willing and able to do more of this kind of reporting, he’ll be wearing a helmet at the very least.
UPDATE: Apparently Israel issued warnings about these bridges:
Israel: We are going to strike these bridges that cross the Litani River. This is a warning so that civilians and journalists do not go to this area when it is going to be hit.
RT's Steve Sweeney: I will go there anyway.
The internet: Wow Israel tried to kill a journalist!
