PNN – These days, media people in Lebanon are mourning the loss of “Farah Omar”, a young reporter of “Al-Mayadeen” channel, who was martyred last week by direct fire from a Zionist drone along with “Rabi Al-Mamari”, the cameraman of this channel.
According to the Pakistan News Network, these days, media activities in South Lebanon are facing many dangers and Farah Omar and Rabi Al-Mamari are added to the long list of media martyrs after the Al-Aqsa storm operation, which the Zionist regime continues to attack like in the Gaza Strip without complying with international laws.
Mohammad Zinani, one of the cameramen who is present in southern Lebanon and was the first person who brought the al-Mayadeen media team to the place of martyrdom, said in a conversation with Tasnim reporter: “The distance between the cars and us was a few meters, because you know, it is under surveillance, we went to the filming location, we wanted to film and return, but unfortunately they were targeted. Unfortunately, the Zionist enemy does not respect international laws.”
The bodies of the martyrs Farah Omar and Rabi Al-Mamari were buried in a magnificent ceremony in Al-Mayadeen network building.
Ghassan bin Jado, the head of al-Mayadeen network, said in a conversation with Tasnim reporter: It was the beginning of his reporting. In my opinion, he fulfilled his duty, now he has made room for others to fulfill his duty and his wishes. He achieved what he wanted, to go to his God as a martyr. The calamity that befell us is part of the hatred and great enemy of the Zionist regime towards journalists in general and resistance journalists in particular, especially journalists of Al-Mayadeen network.
Hassan Atiyeh, one of Farah Omar’s colleagues, said: “Farah was one of my friends both at university and at work. He was always a person with positive energy, which made him achieve what he strived for. He was a positive energy and work ethic. He said, these efforts brought him here and made him reach this stage.
Farah Omar’s body was buried by his colleagues and friends in his hometown of Mashghra in eastern Lebanon after a glorious farewell.
Farah Omar and Rabi Memari will not be the last media martyrs by the Zionists, but their path and other media martyrs will continue in portraying the crimes of the Zionists.
