Archivist Notes On This Video

Al-Manar reporter Ali Shabib and cameraman Mohamed Barjawi were wounded in an Israeli strike in Nabatiyeh, southern Lebanon, on Sunday.

Footage circulating Monday shows the moment of the blast during or just before a live report. Lebanese outlets say both were taken to hospital; some later reports described their condition as stable.

Al-Manar is Hezbollah-affiliated, which is why the clip is being read as either an attack on journalists or as part of a strike on a Hezbollah area. The IDF said it hit infrastructure after drone launches and is reviewing claims that uninvolved civilians were hurt.
