Three journalists were killed in an Israeli air strike overnight, Lebanese state media NNA said Friday, with a pro-Iran broadcaster adding that the raids targeted a residence of press workers in southeastern Lebanon.

Israeli military planes struck at 3:30 am (0030 GMT) near the Syrian border, leaving three dead, NNA said.
