As a foreign journalist that lives and works in Lebanon I never wanted to be the centre of attention. After Israel launched an attack on me and my dear friend @AliRida_SB I was unwittingly catapulted into the limelight. I have never courted "fame" and until recently not engaged too much in social media, which, while it has positives, is a breeding ground for misinformation and a proliferation of grifters speaking over the top of the people to whom this land belongs. Over the past years I have made hundreds of films, but always raised the voices of the people, centring them and as a journalist for an international news organisation endeavoured to bring their stories to the world. It is a basic journalistic principle and one I try my best to adhere to. More often than not war ends up as a cash cow for influencers, YouTubers and the like seeking internet fame and donations to allow them to continue their “work”. Sadly they often have no regard for the people on whose land they are treading or their safety - rarely, if ever, bothering to speak to them. Lebanon is not “a war zone”. It is a land that belongs to its people. The “bombed out buildings” you pose in front of are people’s homes, their businesses, their lives and should be treated with dignity and respect - not simply a place for crass “hero shots” This is the land soaked in the blood of thousands of martyrs, those that have given their lives to defend their homes. We must walk with dignity and humility. We are not and should never be the story. Our job, especially as guests in this country is to raise the voices of the people, not for vanity shots or to promote ourselves as “brave” Unless you are bringing context, history, details and most importantly, speaking to the people then what you are doing becomes nothing more than tourism - exploiting the people for clicks, internet fame or money. Journalists in the field should always defer to their Lebanese peers, the people that live here and know the land better than anyone, not act as “white saviours.” Lebanon has many great journalists, commentators, analysts, writers whose knowledge is invaluable to understand this country and its history. We stand on the shoulders of giants and for as long as we are in the field our mic will remain the tribune of the people.

Amazing to see this mural dedicated to Lebanese journalists killed by I$rael on the Falls Road in Belfast. ‘Journacide’ by @sean_murray1 which was shown in Beirut earlier this week is an absolute must watch

Part of our report from Chaqra, southern Lebanon which lies close to the I$raeli occupation zone. Our path was blocked as Merkava tanks carried out operations in nearby Houla, with artillery fire to one side of us and a drone hovering over our heads. The people of Chaqra remain resilient, with life returning and repairs being carried out on buildings and water supply. Full report to follow…

For reporters working in war zones, documenting Israeli occupation and war crimes means directly facing the same violence they are trying to expose. VPol journalist Mira Rehawi (@mira_rehawi) was at Metropolis Cinema in Beirut on September 21, where she spoke to the filmmakers and journalists involved in the documentary about reporting under fire, information warfare, resistance through storytelling and the human realities behind the headlines, Journacide: The War on Truth. ￭ Produced by Irish filmmaker Sean Murray (@sean_murray1) and Lebanese journalist Radwan Mortada (@radwanmortada), the documentary follows journalists in southern Lebanon as they work under Israeli fire, confront the destruction around them and attempt to continue reporting despite the risks. ￭ The film also looks beyond the footage, exploring the people behind the reporting, the relationships formed in the field and the emotional consequences of witnessing Israeli war crimes firsthand. ￭ Among the journalists featured is Steve Sweeney (@SweeneySteve), who worked alongside martyred journalist Hajj Ali Choeib (@cheib1970). His experience offers a closer look at what it means to return to the field after colleagues have been killed while doing the same work.

A while ago, I visited two-year-old Helma at her grandfather's house—a sweet little girl whose parents and siblings were killed by the US and Israel. Her grandfather said, "I want to stay alive long enough to see vengeance exacted for the blood of our martyred leader."

Yesterday a hospital, today the detonation of civilian homes in Mays Al-Jabal as the I$raeli genocide in Lebanon continues, with the active participation of the US, Britain, the EU, etc etc

I$rael is killing babies, that’s a simple fact In Lebanon one in every 11 killed since 2023 is a child, 9.1 percent of the total. Just last week an 8 week old baby was one of six children killed in an I$raeli strike on a building that wiped out three generations of one family in Kfar Roummane in southern Lebanon. But reporting on this and demanding I$rael stops killing kids is antisemitic? Wild.

At least three Israeli airstrikes have targeted Nabatieh al-Fawqa, in southern Lebanon

And the Soviet Union

Lebanese Army statement on Deir Mimas The Army Command wishes to clarify that, in the context of the missions carried out by the military units inside the town of Deir Mimas - Marjeyoun, an army patrol established a newly created temporary observation point on the outskirts of the town on 9/10/2026, in coordination with the Military Coordination Group for Lebanon (MCG4L), to accompany the residents while they inspected the agricultural lands. On 9/18/2026, an Israeli occupation force approached the newly established point within the so-called security zone and threw sound bombs in the vicinity of the spot. As a result, the army reinforced the point, and a state of alert was declared between the two sides. As a result of communications that took place via MCG4L, the Israeli occupation force left the location, and the army personnel then returned to their main base in the town. Follow-up is being carried out in coordination with MCG4L. #الجيش_اللبناني #LebaneseArmy nitter.net/lebarmyofficial/status…

I$rael has destroyed yet another hospital in Lebanon, this time in Mays Al-Jabal in the south of the country. This is part of a genocide being carried out by I$rael in Lebanon, as concluded in a report that slipped under the radar earlier this year by the Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention and Drs Against Genocide. Stay tuned for our film on this…
