IDF CONFIRMS KILLING JOURNALIST ALI SHOEIB: ‘served as terrorist in Hezbollah under guise of journalist for Al-Manar network’

The IDF confirms targeting and eliminating Ali Shoeib, a Hezbollah terrorist masquerading as a journalist. Shoeib, in addition to being a member of Hezbollah’s Radwan Force, was a long-time correspondent for Al-Manar, a Hezbollah-owned and operated propaganda outlet.

Two other journalists working for the Hezbollah-aligned Al-Mayadeen television station were also killed. — World media predictably framed the development simply as Israel “killing journalists,” marking yet another double standard considering the deliberate targeting of ISIS media operatives by Western coalition forces.

Ali Shoeib, Al-Manar’s house correspondent, is without a doubt the journalist Abu Ali Express wrote many times about him over the years. Many times he noted that there is great value in eliminating Shoeib (the last time was just two weeks ago ) – in terms of his media influence and the psychological warfare he waged against Israel for Hezbollah, Shoeib was worth more than a thousand Hezbollah military operatives. In the attached photo, he is holding one of the cameras that were dismantled several years ago from an IDF outpost on the border with Lebanon. Many times he confronted IDF soldiers and officers at point-blank range. The world is definitely better off without him.

The NYT claims targeting a Hezbollah journalist was illegal. International law says otherwise.

The New York Times reported on Israel’s killing of Al-Manar correspondent Ali Shoeib in an airstrike near the southern Lebanese town of Jezzine. The strike also killed Fatima Ftouni and her brother Mohammed Ftouni, journalists for the Hezbollah-affiliated Al-Mayadeen channel. The Times dutifully secured the standard quote:
 

Legal experts and human rights groups say that expressions of support for an armed group such as Hezbollah do not make someone a legitimate target under the laws of war, unless they actively participate in hostilities. 

“Just reporting on the advancement of Israeli troops or engaging in propaganda does not make someone a military target,” said Ramzi Kaiss, the Lebanon researcher at Human Rights Watch.

The laws of war say otherwise.
