Lebanon: Israeli forces strike Al-Manar TV facilities
CPJ News Alert
New York, July 13, 2006 — The Committee to Protect Journalists
today called on Israel to explain its attacks on Al-Manar TV, the
satellite news channel affiliated with the Lebanese Shiite group
Hezbollah.
Al-Manar managing director, Ali-Al-Haji, told CPJ that Israeli
aircraft fired two missiles today at the station’s headquarters in
the southern Beirut suburb of Haret Hreik. Two employees were
injured by flying glass, and a civilian in a nearby house was also
wounded. The top floors of the building were severely damaged, al-Haji
said. However, the station continued to broadcast. Israeli forces
separately struck two Al-Manar TV transmitters, one near Baalbek,
northeast of Beirut, and another in Maroun al-Ras in southern
Lebanon.
The strikes took place as part of an Israeli military offensive in
Lebanon that began after Hezbollah guerillas abducted two Israeli
soldiers and killed another eight near the Lebanese-Israeli border
yesterday. At least 53 Lebanese civilians have been killed in
Israeli air strikes, news agencies reported.
Calls to Israel’s embassy in the United States requesting comment on
the Al-Manar attacks were not immediately returned today.
The Geneva Conventions prohibit attacks on civilian targets unless
they are used for military purposes. While Al-Manar may serve a
propaganda function for Hezbollah, it does not appear based on a
monitoring of its broadcasts today to be serving any discernible
military function, according to CPJ’s analysis.
“Israel should immediately explain the basis for these strikes on
Al-Manar,” said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon.
In a separate development today, Reuters reported that cameraman
Rami Amichai was wounded in the leg by shrapnel in a Hezbollah
rocket attack. Amichai had been filming in the Israeli coastal city
of Nahariya when a rocket struck nearby, sending shrapnel flying
into his lower leg, Reuters said. He was taken to hospital for
treatment.
On Wednesday, three journalists working for the Lebanese satellite
television channel New TV were seriously wounded when their car was
struck during Israel’s bombardment of the al-Mahmoudiyeh Bridge in
southern Lebanon, New TV producer Sana’ Salami told CPJ. Reporter
Bassel al-Aridi, cameraman Abed Khayat, and assistant cameraman Ziad
Sawan were seriously injured. Their vehicle was destroyed. The
journalists are now recovering in the American University of Beirut
hospital.
“We call on all sides in this conflict to respect the work of
journalists covering the fighting,” Simon added. “Journalists like
all civilians cannot be targeted under the rules of war.”
"When a Jew, in America or in South Africa, talks to
his Jewish companions about 'our' government, he means the
government of Israel."
