Local Editor

Al-Jadeed Cameraman Ali Shaaban was escorted Tuesday from the Beirut Governmental Hospital to the grave in his hometown, the southern village of Mayfadoun.

The martyr’s funeral passed to Al-Jadeed building in the Cola region after taking off from the hospital, and later headed to the residence of Ali’ family from where it headed directly to the South.

Shaaban was shot dead Monday in Wadi Khaled region on the Lebanese-Syrian borders. The other two crew staff Hussein Khreis and Abed Khayyat were able to escape.

The Syrian National Media Council expressed Tuesday its regret and condolences to Al-Jadeed TV staff and to the martyr’s family, indicating that it valued highly the journalists’ efforts and courage in covering the incidents caused by armed terrorist groups.

For its part, Hezbollah Media Relations issued a statement in which it denounced the attack on the Lebanese media team, considering that “the journalists are paying a tax for their courage in covering the events.”

In parallel, Hezbollah Media Relations Chief Ibrahim Mousawi and Loyalty to the Resistance Parliamentary bloc MP Hasan Fadlallah, who was representing Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah, attended the funeral and received condolences for the martyrdom of Ali.
