Lebanon: LBCI and MTV media crews assaulted while reporting in southern Lebanon / IFJ A team of the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International (LBCI) was assaulted and beaten by a group of individuals on 27 January in southern Lebanon. They were covering the return of residents to towns that had been occupied by the Israeli military. One day earlier, an MTV media crew was prevented from filming in the south of the country. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Lebanese Journalists’ Syndicate (LJS), in condemning all kinds of violence against journalists, and reiterates that hindering the work of journalists is a threat to media freedom. https://www.ifj.org/media-centre/news/detail/category/press-releases/article/lebanon-lbci-and-mtv-media-crews-assaulted-while-reporting-in-southern-lebanon
