Archivist Notes
Full Name of the martyr: Hajj Mohammad Sherri | الحاج محمد شري
Prominent Lebanese Senior journalist, Director of Political Programming at Al-Manar TV, and Al-Manar TV correspondent Mohammad Sherri and his wife were killed in a pre-dawn Israeli airstrike on Beirut’s Zuqaq al-Blat district.
His children and grandchildren were wounded and hospitalised following the strike, according to Al-Manar.
The attack targeted his home and specific apartments within the building, resulting in his death & the wounding of family members.
He was a prominent figure in Al-Manar, a key media outlet closely tied to Hezbollah, where he oversaw political programming. His role made him a visible & influential voice within the network.
Al Manar states thaht "The martyred colleague concluded decades of his professional journey as a committed media figure, a resistance journalist, a revolutionary national figure, and a purposeful human being who believed in the power of the word to defend truth, no matter the cost. Viewers of Al Manar knew him as a presenter of political programs and a cultured, balanced, and logical interlocutor, while his colleagues knew him as Director of Political Programs for ten years, a member of the board of directors, and a principled, calm colleague. Illness did not prevent him in his final days from maintaining his intellectual presence. While recovering from surgery, the Zionist aggression took his life during morning airstrikes on Beirut, and he rose as a martyr alongside his patient wife, Umm Hassan. As Al Manar mourns him as a martyr of the free word, it renews its commitment to him—and to all martyrs, including leaders, resistance fighters, innocent civilians, and colleagues—to continue along the path of truth and to uphold the free word and the honest, clear image, no matter how great the sacrifices.”
