Steve Sweeney reports on his attempted assassination by Israeli forces

About this episode

Steve Sweeney reports on his near-assassination by Israeli forces while covering the conflict in Lebanon.

The zionist and imperialist warmongers deliberately and systematically target journalists and health workers. Our comrade Steve Sweeney sent us this report after he and his crew were almost wiped out by a missile fired from an Israeli jet in southern Lebanon on 19 March. Steve runs the Lebanon desk for RT, which is one of the very few news organisations that has been covering the renewed genocidal assault by Israel there. Subscribe! Donate!
