 Western Media Whitewashes Israel’s Attempted Murder Of British Journalist In Lebanon

Israel has a history of deliberately killing Lebanese journalists since the war began in 2023

Western media outlets have whitewashed Israel’s attempt to kill British war journalist Steve Sweeney and his Lebanese cameraman Ali Rida while they were broadcasting live from southern Lebanon on 19 March.

Footage shot by Rida shows Sweeney giving a news report about a previous Israeli strike when he realizes another strike is headed towards them. He quickly ducks as the missile is seen exploding as it hits the ground just meters behind him.

Sweeney was treated at the hospital to remove shrapnel from the bomb that was embedded in his arm.

While reporting on the strike, the BBC used a headline stating, “Missile lands next to presenter during live report from Lebanon.”
