An Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon on Saturday (March 28, 2026) killed three journalists who were covering the latest Israel-Hezbollah war, their TV stations said.

Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV said that its longtime correspondent Ali Shoeib was killed on Saturday (March 28, 2026) in southern Lebanon.

The Israeli military said that it had targeted Shoeib, accusing him of being a Hezbollah intelligence operative without providing evidence

The military has identified the solder as Moshe Yitzhak HaCohen Katz and said he was killed in battle in southern Lebanon.

In a post on X, the military said three other soldiers were wounded in the same battle.

As we’ve been reporting, Israel has been expanding its ground offensive in southern Lebanon in a bid to create what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called a “buffer zone”.

The Israeli military said that it had targeted Shoeib, accusing him of being a Hezbollah intelligence operative without providing evidence.

The UAE Ministry of Defence says its air defences are responding to missiles and drone threats and that sounds across the country are that of “engaging operations”.

The Yonhap news agency, citing bourse data, is reporting that the market capitalisation of defense stocks have risen on the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) about a month after US-Israeli air strikes on Iran,

According to Yonhap, defence giant Hanwha Aerospace saw its market capitalisation increase 11.7 percent to 68.8 trillion won ($45.1bn) from 61.6 trillion won ($40.8bn) over the cited period.

Aerospace company LIG Nex1’s market value also surged 44.4 percent, while military and aviation company Hanwha Systems Co. rose 9.2 percent.

Despite the rise in defence stocks, auto and shipbuilding shares fell in the same period, Yohap reported. For instance, carmaker Hyundai Motor Co’s market value declined 26.6 percent between March 27 and February 27, a day before the outbreak of the US-Israeli attack on Iran.

Iran’s Press TV has listed the various sites targeted by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian army and Tehran’s allies in the Middle East on Saturday.

It said the IRGC “used long-range and medium-range solid and liquid-fueled systems and attack drones to target several industries belonging to the Israeli-American enemy” in Israel and other locations.

It claimed IRGC shot down a US MQ9 drone and also hit an F-16 fighter jet.

The Iranian army meanwhile targeted an electronic warfare and radar centre, operated by the Israeli defence technology company, Elta, at the Israeli military aerospace complex in the port city of Haifa, as well as a fuel storage centre at David Ben Gurion Airport.

Another Palestinian detainee has died while in detention in Israel, according to the Palestinian Prisoners and Freed Prisoners Affairs Authority and the Palestinian Prisoners Society.

The Palestinian news agency Wafa quoted the two organisations as saying that Marwan Harzallah died while being detained at Israel’s Megiddo prison.

Harzallah is among the more than 100 Palestinian detainees who have died in Israeli prisons and detention centres since October 2024, when Israel launched what Palestinian authorities describe as a “genocidal campaign”.

Harzallah had previously been shot by Israeli forces in 1995, resulting in the amputation of one of his legs, the report said.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has denounced a drone attack on the residence of Nechirvan Barzani, the president of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of northern Iraq, in Duhok.

According to Press TV news outlet, the IRGC blamed US and Israel for the attack and described it as an assassination attempt and a “clear act of terrorism”.

The IRGC said the aggression follows a pattern of “cowardly assassinations” of senior Iranian officials by the US and Israel, and said the “malicious efforts” were aimed at undermining peace, stability, and regional cooperation between the Kurdsh region and neighbouring countries.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, who spoke to Nechirvan in the aftermath of the attack early on Saturday, has ordered an investigation.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack. It comes amid a surge in attacks on both Iran-aligned armed groups and Kurdish forces in Iraq as the US-Israeli war against Iran spills over into the neighbouring country.
