Burj Rahal: A 22-year-old journalist working for a pan-Arab television network was killed in the Israeli airstrike that hit southern and eastern Lebanon on Monday. The deceased Hadi Al-Sayyed was working for Al-Mayadeen network when a missile hit the region while he was present in his house. This is the third journalist belonging to this network killed in the airstrike. Israel has launched a massive offensive against Hezbollah targeting its ammunition and logistics facilities in Lebanon.

The Arab-based media network said that Hadi Al-Sayyed was wounded on Monday and succumbed to injuries on Tuesday.

The victim was working for Al-Mayadeen's digital platform and was at his house in the town of Burj Rahhal near the southern city of Tyre when the missile hit his house.
