BEIRUT (AP) — An early morning Israeli airstrike killed three journalists as they slept at a guesthouse in southeast Lebanon on Friday, one of the deadliest attacks on the media since hostilities broke out across the border a year ago.

It was a rare airstrike on an area that has been used by the media as a base for covering the war.

Has anyone ever compared Israel's kill rate when it comes to journalists compared to Hamas? I think they have a higher ratio for the former.

Israel was responsible for something like 80% of fatalities among journalists last year, worldwide. So yes, easily

Well they definitely outpace Russia... which is pretty telling.

Hamas have also been known to sleep. For a third of the day, the journalists’ activities were indistinguishable from those of the most notorious terrorists!

Don't worry, it's okay because they claimed that they were combatants first. /s
