#IDF admit to posting a fake image of a Lebanese journalist killed in a strike. The IDF's official English X account posted an edited photo of Al Manar journalist Ali Hassan Shoeib, claiming he was a #Hezbollah terrorist.
[…] "It's fabricated evidence of combatant status applied to a real person, published on an official military platform to justify a killing. It is rationalisation of violence through deception,"
Hezbollah and the Lebanese President have condemned the attack as a war crime and a violation of international law protecting journalists.
