Nabatieh: A sudden explosion interrupted an Al-Manar television crew’s preparations for a report near Nabatieh in southern Lebanon on Sunday, with dramatic footage capturing the moment the blast struck and left two journalists injured.
The video shows Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shabib preparing to speak on camera when an explosion suddenly erupts, engulfing the frame in flames. The footage then abruptly cuts off, bringing the recording to an unexpected end.
According to Israeli media reports, Shabib, a correspondent for the Hezbollah-affiliated television network, was preparing to go on air when the strike occurred.
Shabib and cameraman Mohammed Barjawi were injured in the incident and evacuated to a hospital. Both are reported to be in stable condition.
The incident came amid heightened tensions in southern Lebanon. According to the IDF, Hezbollah terrorists had launched two explosive drones overnight toward Israeli troops operating in the Ali Taher Ridge area within the security zone in southern Lebanon.
The IDF said there were no casualties among its forces following the drone attack.
