Israeli TV presenter blows up building in Lebanon during broadcast

An Israeli channel broadcasted footage of its TV presenter detonating an explosive device that destroyed a building in Lebanon. The news anchor was filmed receiving instructions from IDF soldiers on camera.

Journalist Danny Kushmaro, a popular news anchor in Israel, was seen wearing a press vest while standing alongside Israeli soldiers as he prepared to launch an attack on Lebanon.

Israeli soldiers told Kushmaro that they use a nearby building to launch rockets at Lebanon, while he can detonate the explosives through an operator from his location.

The news anchor then pressed the button, resulting in the destruction of the building in Lebanon. The Israeli army has not released further details regarding the incident.

Social media users lashed out at Danny Kushmaro for disregarding journalistic ethics. One Israeli journalist commented, “News presenter Danny Kushmaro is a disgrace to the journalism profession.”

Meanwhile, as the IDF labelled six Al Jazeera journalists as "Hamas terrorists" for exposing war crimes of the occupation army in Gaza, Israeli journalists are openly recording themselves bombing buildings in another country without facing consequences for these severe violations.

This is while IDF targets Palestinian journalists on tenuous charges and kills Lebanese journalists in their sleep. Sickening

Israeli attacks on Lebanon have claimed the lives of over 25,000 people since October 2023 with many innocent civilians killed in the bombing of residential areas. 

An Israeli strike targeted a compound in the southeastern Lebanese town of Hasbaya, killing three journalists and wounding three more.
