Marking Lebanon’s annual Martyrs’ Day commemoration, Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has paid honour to media professionals killed in attacks by Israel, specifically citing those “deliberately targeted” for reporting the truth, Al Jazeera reports.
“Media martyrs refused anything but to convey the reality on the ground, paying with their lives for a sacred message,” Aoun said in a statement.
“Their blood stands as testimony that the Lebanese word cannot be defeated,” he said.
