He is injured but not dead
Some analysis
Allegations he was targeted because he posted this yesterday
https://xcancel.com/SweeneySteve/status/2034700333000331742
He have video after hospital from 5 hours ago. What a day to be alive.Not saying this info is wrong but the fins on the bombs in those pictures look very different. I’m no bomb expert of course
That’s pretty much undeniably a mk82 warhead. Which are fitted with different tail sections and other guidance systems for whatever they want to be used for. If the report is correct in that it was a 200lb load with 300lbs of metal, that would be the mk82 mod 7. Which likely has a Israeli tail section made for low altitude deployment with high precision.
Dang I didn’t know they could swap parts like like
Either way it’s clearly different surroundings, and the missile in the video goes into a crater where a previous missile hit, while this still shows a missile hitting flat terrainEdit: silly me, it’s just zoomed in. And the rocket hits a little farther back from the crater, not in the existing crater.
Jfc, Israel just cant help but targeting innocent people, civilians, and the press are their prime targets

I don’t trust anyone who, after hearing the story of Abraham, still is like “yeah, more of that please!”
Well gentiles (non-jewish) are like animals, according to some rabbi’s
just cant help
This assumes that the bomb accidentally fell there. This was a targeted strike.
Not the way I worded it. I said they cant help but target innocent, civilians and journalists
Ah I see, I am just unfamiliar with the expression it seems.
No worries! Not sure why you got so many downvotes for a clear misunderstanding
I tend to downvote misunderstandings so that people realize that something is wrong with the statement
As the OP said: “just can’t help but” is a negation of what you quoted.
It’s like saying they “can’t not target [innocents]”
The only thing Israel loves more than killing journalists, is killing children.
Don’t forget women and the elderly.
And infants
Idk it’s maybe a tie for health care workers too.
Their leader is a child killer, and the US leader is a child rapist. Talk about a match made in the deepest recesses of Hell.
You’re being really unfair. Trump very well could’ve also killed children.
Didn’t he already kill the 160 girls bombing a school?
Ok, but I think we can all admit child detectives are neither cute nor amusing.
And they would have gotten away with it too! If it weren’t for those meddling kids and their mangy dog!
IRL version:
Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy were never seen or heard from again.
what a chad. may he continue to evade bombs for a long time
Didn’t really evade this bomb though, did he? Someone said it struck in the crack there and exploded in there, which was very lucky for them. Otherwise, smithereens.
For fun, I just looked at headlines for this. Almost all of them mention Lebanon, only two mention Israel or IDF. Classic.
Well, why did Lebanon decide to place a country where bombs fall?
It’s ok guys, the missile just happened to safely “land” in the area, by chance, “next to” the guy, who is only a “presenter”, not a journalist . There’s definitely no war crime to see here.
Our “Journalists”, their “Presenters”
History is written by the victors. This realization has made me question every version of history I have ever been taught
As moral compasses adjust over time, it has become clear that almost everyone that made it into history books was an asshole. And the ones that weren’t might have only been that way because they died too soon or history had gaps.
Israel definitely didn’t try to kill this journalist or the 300 journalists they successfully killed in the last 2.5 years.
Ahh the BBC, Pinnacle of using soft language (*passive voice is what I meant here) to describe war crimes
Only when Israel is the perpetrator. This is the NYT, but the BBC does the same thing.
Yuuuup. Almost like there’s a lot of powerful people worldwide that rely on propaganda to not just obfuscate their horrifyingly immoral acts, but create a culture where these acts are permissible when discovered.
Think about how the news used passive voice to never use the word rape or torture to describe what the epstein elite were doing to children, despite it being clearly laid out in front of our eyes.
Same thing happening in Gaza, Lebanon, Sudan, West Papua, and now Iran, in a non exhaustive but exhausting list of countries where the west is funding and arming genocides in the name of “Spreading democracy” (Stealing Natural Resources ) while the news stations softly softly their way around talking points.
Almost the exact same spot as one before and nothing there but him…
the old one two attack, its done to target aid workers and whatnot.
And the bridge that was still standing.
I doubt he was specifically targeted, since the margin of the miss was too large. But the ones doing the bombing knew he was there and went ahead to bomb the bridge anyway.
Actually Israel is known to use a double tap bombing method that waits until reporters and aid shows up to the original site and then they strike it again to take out additional people to make it harder to respond to the next attack.
Also this was a cluster munition bomb ment to shoot shrapnel out, the goal is to just hit solid ground to make it explode sideways, they just happened to double tap exactly the same spot and there was a cavity under the road.
From the stills it looks like a standard mk82 with a guidance kit. It lacks the longetudenal slits that cluster munition bodies have. Also cluster munitions deploy their bomblets about 50-150m before they hit the ground, otherwise they don’t get distribution.
It looks more like they dropped a followup bomb on a bridge that was not destroyed by the first bomb. Its a common practice for low urgency targets.
Especially considering it hit the same crater. Those bombs are accurate to about 1m, so that is not unusualy to hit almost the same spot.
I still think they just did not care he was there. If they were targeting him, it would have hit him.
True I don’t think they were targeting him specifically but they were targeting the professions of who shows up after the first hit. They seemingly want a couple professions caught in the crossfire. And its ones that is a crime to target.
Also that is still incredibly lazy with expensive munitions to not calculate the strike to actually hit again a weak point but to just send it on the same trajectory and hope it blows up enough to get the job done.
Being a journalist in range of Israel isn’t the safest of occupations.
No kidding.
The Gaza war has become the deadliest conflict for journalists in history, with reports indicating that Israeli actions killed over 180 to more than 270 journalists, mostly Palestinians, between October 2023 and August 2025.
Israel is openly targeting journalists. The IDF have shot anyone with MEDIA on their body. they have been since the Oct 7 attacks. Israel does not want their genocide or war crimes exposed, so they actively (and encourage) soldiers to target media.
And now the USA has sided with this regime to kill more civilians in Iran.
For comparison’s sake, I wonder what Iran’s numbers are like.
This video is ANTI SEMETIC!
-The ADL, AIPAC, Chuck Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, EVERY Republican!
Funny thing is most israelis arent even semites lol
And most arabs are
-Jonathan Greenblatt
Any world leader and politician not calling out israel government is evil and lying to people.
Life under capitalism, where 95% of your leaders are trying to think of better ways to exploit you.
He’s a British man, but he was working for the Russian state-controlled media organization Russia Today. So, I don’t think you can really call him a “journalist” anymore.
He is still literally a journalist whether you like it or not. FOX News says their content is entertainment, but I wouldn’t bring that point up if one of their reporters was violently targeted in their line of work.
No, he’s not a journalist. He’s a propagandist working for the Russian government.
A propagandist can be a journalist, a teacher, a doctor etc. You don’t bomb unarmed people you disgusting peace of trash
You don’t bomb unarmed people you disgusting peace of trash
Because I noted that he’s a propagandist, you think I supported his being bombed? That’s all you, my friend. I said nothing about that.
Who are you tring to fool scum
Wow, you’re really stupid, huh?
You may not realize this, but being a journalist provides him with protections. As a journalist he should not be a target, same as a medic. No matter whose side he is on, he is not a target. By attempting to strip him of this title, you would also be stripping him of his legal protection from military targeting.
Most people agree that journalists (even “enemy” journalists) should not be targeted by weapons, for what should be fairly obvious moral reasons.
I hope you understand now why you are experiencing such a huge level of disagreement here.
I think I’ve missed the part where he said it’s okay to bomb unarmed people, can you point it out?
journalists are protected under international humanitarian law in war zones by saying he is not a journalist he is alluding that that person deserve to die for being a propagandist
"Netanyahu had a warm relationship and “personal friendship” with Russian president Vladimir Putin. In his 2022 book, Netanyahu wrote positively about Putin and describes him as “smart, sophisticated and focused on one goal – returning Russia to its historical greatness”
Propagandist is your opinion. He’s a journalist because of the press pass that he’s holding, that’s why I used the literally signifier.
It is ok to kill him then
No
He should have been in an IDF tank with full Israeli censor over the content instead of on the front lines getting bombed by Israel. That is what real “journalism” looks like.
Yeah he’s a propagandist. But him getting bombed is still a WTF moment.
If he had been working for the British state-controlled media organization the British Broadcasting Corporation, would you still call him a journalist?
Yes, because the BBC hasn’t been caught repeatedly coordinating with state intelligence services to spread disinformation, setting up astroturf campaigns to spread misinformation, funnelling money to “influencers” to destabilize governments, secretly operating media outlets under other names in other countries, etc.
Ok, so double standards it is, then. You like the BBC, so you ignore all the shady shit they do, but you don’t like RT so you highlight their problems, and hold both to different standards.
You need to read about critical thinking. It will make your world a much less confusing place.“The shady shit they do”?
Do tell.
Irrelevant. The point is that you believe you get to decide, based on some convenient criteria of your own choosing,which news outlets can call their workers journalists, and which ones will be classed as propagandists and therefore lose the right to safety from military strikes.
Effectively you think you should get the power of life and death over people who are putting their lives at risk to report from war zones.
You are a coward, decreeing all this from behind an anonymous profile on the Internet.C’mon, do tell.
☝️
So, will Keir Starmer comment on this or is his mouth too busy wrapped around Netanyahu’s dick?!
Any moment now.
RT journalist so it’s hard to believe. Or could have been staged. The way they describe the bomb and the “good luck” it didn’t kill anyone
I only get my news from trusted CIA cutouts owned by billionaire oligarchs
It’s possible to dislike propaganda irrespective of who is dishing it out.
What news source, pray tell, is not propaganda?
The best today are a short list of YouTube channels. Truly independent investigative journalists are a rare treasure these days.
This, I agree with
There are many that don’t exist exclusively to push the narrative their owners want to get out there, don’t be so obtuse.
That claim is ridiculous. Name a single media source that does not slavishly serve the political context it arises from
AP, Reuters, BBC World Service.
There’s three.
And you think all three of those are meaningfully independent from the anglo-american military/espionage cartel?
Yeah, because it matters which journalist is targeted. The good guys are obviously allowed to target journalists of the bad guys.
You are an absolute fucking removed, just as anyone agreeing with this stupid ass take. He and his team are fucking civilians. They are not legitimate targets.
They’re a mouth piece for Russian propaganda, and as much as Israel can go fuck itself, they literally told people they were targeting the bridge and finishing up the road destruction. Even fired warnings shots…this guy is a known propagandists for russia.
Oh, my bad, right. Ignoring collateral civilians isn’t a war crime, because obviously they’ve been warned to fuck off. This is an amazing concept for journalism, you just tell any journalist that is uncomfortable for you to get away or they die, and if they don’t, you just kill them. Isn’t that great?
Civilians are not a legitimate target, without exceptions.
as much as Israel can go fuck itself, they literally told people they were targeting the bridge and finishing up the road destruction"
“Fuck israel, but actually no”. If the same clip would’ve been from the Ukraine with a Russian shell in the background, you would be protesting the fucking ICC already.
You’re a bootlicking asshole, excusing war crimes with pathetic double standards. Fuck you, and everyone coming up with that unhinged argument of “It’s not a crime if the good guys done it”, “it’s not a crime if the victim was a bad guy”, or both at the same time. Fuck you, and your moral pseudo hight ground. People like you are part of the reason that the US and their Israeli buddies can invade, genocide and cripple whole countries with close to zero backlash and with zero consequences.

Are…are you ok? You do know how wars work, legitimate or not ones. You target infrastructure, that’s what Israel was doing here. This idiot knows where they were going to be bombing, and set up near it. This isn’t journalism.
“Fuck israel, but actually no”. If the same clip would’ve been from the Ukraine with a Russian shell in the background, you would be protesting the fucking ICC already.
It’s just Ukraine.
Russia doesn’t announce that it’s going to bomb a bridge, or location. They just hit civilian apartments.

The actual fuck are you on? Israel needs to be de-armed and basically neutered, but so does Russia and it propaganda machine. Get off your podium kid, nothing I have ever said has been in support for Israel or the US wars.
Are…are you ok? You do know how wars work, legitimate or not ones. You target infrastructure, that’s what Israel was doing here. This idiot knows where they were going to be bombing, and set up near it. This isn’t journalism.
Again, fuck you and your arrogance. You know who’s mouthpiecing for who, what strikes have been called where and by whom, and seemingly everything else. Obviously, there isn’t a chance that Israel could’ve lied about that and deliberately striking this guy as claimed, since the Israeli government and IDF have proven to not misreport anything and they have never deliberately targeted civilians, journalists, medical personnel, or other persons of interests. Even the OHCHR stated concerns about the excessive bombings on infrastructure in Lebanon and the impact on civilians, potentially considering those as a war crime. Israeli officials threatened to do the same razing to Lebanon as they did in Gaza, and already started to do the same mass displacement orders (also a war crime btw), but they are just warning them to fuck off before they bomb the shit out of them, so that’s all fine, right?
And what is journalism then? Broadcasting from a luxury hotel far away claiming all is well? Those people risk their life to show what’s actually happening, and that’s exactly why they are protected.
So yeah, I seem to be more okay than you, at least I’m not excusing war crimes and accepting civilian casualties.
Get off your podium kid, nothing I have ever said has been in support for Israel or the US wars.
And yet you’re excusing obvious fucking war crimes. Keep lying to yourself and get back to that delicious boot.
Again, fuck you and your arrogance. You know who’s mouthpiecing for who, what strikes have been called where and by whom, and seemingly everything else.
The fuck are you on about? It sounds like you’re just shouting at the wind. Lol you must not be able to read, or research shit.
Obviously, there isn’t a chance that Israel could’ve lied about that and deliberately striking this guy as claimed, since the Israeli government and IDF have proven to not misreport anything and they have never deliberately targeted civilians, journalists, medical personnel, or other persons of interests.
Dude is literally standing in an existing warning shot crater with the bridge in the background…use your eyes for once, and not your mouth. You seem to be real good at trying to make up silly arguments…

At what point did I say it was ok? Please please show me where I stated what Israel is doing is ok?
And what is journalism then? Broadcasting from a luxury hotel far away claiming all is well? Those people risk their life to show what’s actually happening, and that’s exactly why they are protected.
Knowing that an area is going to be bombed before hand to get views is not journalism…and it’s quite hilarious that you’re simping for RT… assuming you got a little tankie in you.
So yeah, I seem to be more okay than you, at least I’m not excusing war crimes and accepting civilian casualties.
Yea cause that’s what I was doing lol, you must have slept through school to be that bad at reading comprehension.
And yet you’re excusing obvious fucking war crimes. Keep lying to yourself and get back to that delicious boot.
Lol as I said kid, please show me where I have excused what Israel is doing lol
At what point did I say it was ok? Please please show me where I stated what Israel is doing is ok?
Your initial post was “they fired warning shots, he still went there it’s his fault”, I called you out on that. You doubled down with:
Are…are you ok? You do know how wars work, legitimate or not ones. You target infrastructure, that’s what Israel was doing here. This idiot knows where they were going to be bombing, and set up near it. This isn’t journalism.
You are literally dismissing any argument with “They targeted infrastructure, which is fine, and the journalist is at fault for being there”
and it’s quite hilarious that you’re simping for RT… assuming you got a little tankie in you.
Let’s go, you also need to call me a snowflake for your removed bingo card. Should’ve thought you’re a fucking American. Saying a journalist is a human being and has his human rights is simping for RT and being a tankie. You have lost any respect and value of a human life, like most of the US unfortunately.
I’m fucking done wasting time with this bipolar shit. You’re doubling and tripling down into points claiming that you’re not making those points, and you’re not interested in anything else than making your own point anyways, so whatever lol
You don’t use shrapnel warheads to blow up infrastructure.
How in the actual hell do you stage a mk82 slamming into the ground?
What did RT roll up to the Russian AirForce and ask them to fly all the way to Lebanon to drop the equivalent payload behind a staged reporter and hope he survives?
Wild to see 280 people upvoting content from RT, which is literally a Russian propaganda outlet. But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.
What russia propaganda is spread in this specific video? This is also a community about insane videos so they upvote insane videos
It’s propaganda because it shows how Israel bombs indiscriminately while they’re at war with Russia’s ally Iran. This is effective propaganda because it’s true.
The word russia was never mentionned in video. Yes RT do propaganda but it is not in this video
The video literally has a watermark on it that says russia in big letters in a twitter handle. You clearly did not watch the video or are lying.
Propaganda doesn’t mean you don’t ever report news accurately, lol. In fact, effective propaganda relies on it.
I never said he is not a propagandist. I said a propagandist can be a journalist or any other job relating to public affairs
I think the point he’s making (and at least which I was making with the article, and it’s actually a really good read) is that quality propaganda is inherently hard to discern by it’s very nature, and in this time of war with Russia, we should probably do even the small things we can to avoid known Russian propaganda outlets.
Or do you disagree?
He is claiming that doing propaganda strip you of the titlte of journalist which would mean that person is not a protected person in war zone. It is like someone getting hit by a car and someone else talking about how the person who was hit was a bully who hurr many people. It is a justification of violence
No, I don’t agree with that. The reporter doesn’t have anything to do with it.
It’s about not watching known propaganda outlets, because despite their information being accurate most of the time (and convincingly small lies other times), they usually have an agenda as to where they want to take you, feelings-wise.
For example, during WWII, Germans would’ve never tuned into Atlantikssender if it had been lies. No, it was (mostly) accurate reporting (with wins and losses, Germany always lost a bit more than they actually did, and the Allies always won a bit more than they did). What made it propaganda, aside from the small exaggeration, was Vicky mit drei Küssen, or “Vicky with three kisses”, who was an actress of German origin, who had escaped to England, and was there to make the German soldiers just feel like the war is bullshit (which it is, as a larger phenomena as well, so that’s not in any way untrue either) and to imagine being home with their better half. Or if they didn’t have one, made them imagine having one.
I’m not saying this reporter is any of those things, or in any way involved with Russian propaganda at all. I’m saying RT is, and we can’t possibly know which of their material is bending the truth and how. Obviously it isn’t this, as shooting journalists is pretty common for Israel, but the larger point is still that we can’t know, so just avoiding anything RT is the best way to go.
“Justification for violence” pssshhh, I’d say “good try”, but it really was not even a good try
But the other user complained about the journalist not the russia media
LOL hang the fuck on. You’re saying the explosion we all saw didn’t happen?
GTFO here.
Did not say that. I said what I said. I said this is from RT which is a known outlet for Russian propaganda. Why are you so intent on sealioning for a known propaganda wing for the Russian government? Actually, never mind, don’t answer, I don’t care. I’m not interested in debating with authoritarians, fascists, and tankies. You all can respectfully go lick grass.
Oh yeah, this video is clearly Russian propaganda.
Are you that much a conspiracy theorist that you lost all pragmatism in life? It doesn’t matter where this video comes from, it is what it is.
Sheesh you must be fun at parties
What are you even on about? Weird
HEY GUYS I FOUND THE ZIONIST
Don’t try to drag me into being trampled by harassers by making McCarthyist claims about what I believe with zero evidence. You are the worst type of person. Blocked.
Did you write this from your Fuhrerbunker?
But thanks for the list of 280 people whose votes I can safely ignore, I guess.
Cool, and we have a list of hasbara accounts like yours.
Wow thanks for the threat man that’s fun to wake up to. I guess I must have really upset the tankie mothership to have gotten so many threats today. I do not support fascists or authoritarians of ANY kind, wild to see that you only dislike them when it’s not daddy russia.
Like seriously, you in particular confuse me. What are you doing on the anarchist instance if you’re going to go out of your way to threaten people for calling out state-controlled media? Such a hypocrite.
What threat though?
RussiAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHGHHHGGHGHGHGHGHHGGHHG!!!
Wild to see this comment having such downvotes.
I mean, not actually.
But it’s nice to see.
WAIT is there a way to block someone’s votes from influencing the count your client displays?
Yup, it takes some programming but I find it quite handy for avoiding botnets and tankies.
Oh geez, do tell.
Make a pull request! If I block someone, then I also want to ignore their votes.
Thanks for confirming you’re a dumbass, blocking account. Makes it easy.
I heard this on the radio, it sounds so bad.
