U.N. Staffers and Journalist Among Those Killed by Israeli Strikes on Lebanon
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees reports two United Nations
staffers were among those killed by Israeli attacks on southern Lebanon.
Ali Basma worked as a janitor at the UNHCR's Tyre office for seven years
before he was killed in an Israeli strike on Monday. And Dina Darwiche,
a UNHCR employee featured in many of the agency's videos, was killed
along with her youngest son in an Israeli strike that seriously injured
her husband and her other child. A separate Israeli strike killed
cameraman Kamel Karaki of Al-Manar TV. He's at least the fifth
journalist killed by Israeli attacks on Lebanon since October 7.
