Three members of a Lebanese television news crew were shot dead in the Syrian town of Al-Maaloula, 60 km south of Damascus, on Monday (14 April).
They were reporter Hajj Hassan, cameraman Mohammed Mantash and technician Halim Allaw, who worked for Al-Manar, a TV station owned by Lebanon's Hezbollah.
The broadcaster said the vehicles used by its employees clearly display "Press" signs. It is believed the three were killed by rebels after the town was retaken by government forces backed by Hezbollah.
