The Lebanese minister condemned the latest killings by Israel and called on the international community to “take action”.

A TV presenter working for Lebanese TV station Mannar was killed in an Israeli attack on the southern Lebanese city of Tyre, according to the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.

Hezbollah said in a statement that Monday’s killing of host Ali Nour al-Din, who worked for Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Manar, foreshadowed “the danger of Israel expanding its escalation (in Lebanon) to include the media community.”

Al-Manar TV confirmed that al-Din, “who had worked as a religious program host on the Al-Manar channel,” was killed in the Tyre attack.

Hezbollah said Ardin also served as the main preacher in the Tire suburb of Alkhosh, calling his killing a “treacherous assassination.”

Lebanese Information Minister Paul Mokos condemned the Israeli attack, saying on social media Such attacks We “neither spare journalists nor media staff.”

“We express our solidarity and condolences to the media family and call on the international community to fully assume its responsibility and take urgent action to end these violations and ensure the protection of Lebanese media professionals,” the minister said.

Before Monday’s killing of Al-Din, at least six Lebanese journalists had been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since 2023, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Other monitors put the death toll of Lebanese journalists at 10.

Earlier on Monday, the Lebanese Health Ministry said in a statement that an Israeli airstrike in Tyre killed one person, but did not immediately release the names of the victims. Another Israeli attack killed two more people in Kafaruman, near the city of Nabatiya, the ministry added.

The Israeli military later admitted killing Al-Din, whom it described as a member of Hezbollah, and said it had attacked two others in the Nabaatih region of southern Lebanon.

Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in 2024, ending more than a year of fighting that has seen Israel conduct airstrikes across Lebanon that have severely weakened the armed group.

Despite the ceasefire, Israel continues to regularly attack Lebanese targets and maintains a military presence in five locations in southern Lebanon.

According to Agence France-Presse, Israeli air strikes have killed more than 350 people in Lebanon since the ceasefire, and Lebanese authorities are facing increasing pressure from the United States and Israel to take action. Disarm Hezbollah.

On Monday, Hezbollah called on supporters to gather at strongholds across Lebanon to show support for its ally Iran, which the group said was facing “devastation and threats from American Zionism.”

The call came as a U.S. aircraft carrier strike group arrived in the Middle East and President Donald Trump continued Threaten Tehran Along with the attack.

In a televised address to supporters, Hezbollah Chairman Naeem Qasim warned that any attack on Tehran would also be an attack on Hezbollah, adding that any new war against Iran would ignite the region.

Qasim also warned against assassinating Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, adding that Hezbollah considered the threat “against us.”

Tehran warned the United States that the attack would trigger a “regretful response” that could reverberate throughout the Middle East.
