Hizbullah Slams Killing of Syrian Correspondent Yara Abbas
Local Editor
Commenting on the martyrdom of al-Ikhbariyah Syrian news channel, Yara Abbas, and the injury of the crew by terrorist fire, Hizbullah Media Relations issued the following statement:
Terrorist gangs have committed a new crime, targeting al-Ikhbariya Syrian channel crew, who were providing news coverage on the events in al-Quseir area. Yara Abbas, al-Ikhbariya correspondent was martyred and the crew members injured.
This crime perpetrated by the terrorist gangs, which targets Syrian media establishments, is not the first of its kind. In fact, it is the way terrorist gangs treat all those who work on covering the events to the world.
Hence, Hizbullah denounces the targeting of journalists, and expresses its solitude with Syrian media establishments that are coming under an aggressive, multi-faceted attack and offers its condolences to [Yara Abbas'] colleagues, family, and relatives, and hopes for a speedy recovery to those who were wounded.
