On March 28, the Russian Embassy in Lebanon expressed its condolences to the families and friends of the journalists who died after the Israeli strike in the south of the country.

"Pointing weapons at media personnel in conflict zones is unacceptable — it is a violation of international law. But, as we can see, such incidents are becoming systemic, which deserves to be strongly condemned," the diplomatic mission said in a Telegram channel.

"The consequences of these traumatic events will affect people for a long time"
