“…With all pride and honor, the Media Department of the Second Jabal Amel Region announces the martyred photographer Hussein Ali Hammoud, who died in the pursuit of media and truth, and in defense of Lebanon and its people.”
The Minister of Information, Lawyer Dr. Paul Morcos expressed his deep regret and sadness at the news of the martyrdom of Al-Manar TV photojournalist Hussein Hammoud, following the Israeli attack on the city of Nabatieh today, and he saw this as "a clear and repeated additional violation of the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their annexed protocols of 1977, which stipulate the necessity of neutralizing, Rather, protecting journalists in the performance of their professional mission, because the rules of war themselves are violated, as there is no excuse or justification to justify this".
