Lebanese journalist Soukaina Mansour Kawtharani was killed alongside her two children and other family members in an Israeli airstrike on a three-story residential building in Joun, near Sidon in southern Lebanon.
Kawtharani, who worked as a correspondent for Radio Al-Nour, was reported dead on Wednesday by the radio station. The airstrike targeted the building, which was housing displaced families, on Tuesday.
Joseph Qosseifi, president of the Lebanese Press Editors’ Association, condemned the attack, calling it a “crime” and urging international human rights organizations, the International Criminal Court, the General Federation of Arab Journalists and UNESCO to take action. In a statement issued through the official National News Agency, he said: “The Israeli enemy makes no distinction between civilians and combatants in its bombardments, violates every law, charter and pact, and speaks only the language of fire and blood.”
The building was completely destroyed in the strike, which killed 15 people, including eight women and four children, and injured 12, according to the Health Ministry. Ssakina Mansour was killed along with her son Rida, her daughter Sara, and a number of other relative
