Three Lebanese journalists were killed in an Israeli attack on their car in southern Lebanon, a military source told Agence France Presse.
The killing of the journalists comes in the context of increasingly harsh strikes by Israel's army, which announced on Tuesday that it would occupy southern Lebanon.
Lebanese Al-Manar TV reported that its correspondent Ali Shuaib and Al-Mayadeen correspondent Fatima Fatouni were killed.

Thousands killed in Lebanon this month
Lebanon's Health Ministry said on Friday that Israeli strikes and ground operations had killed 1,142 people in Lebanon.
Among them are 122 children, 83 women and 42 members of the medical staff. The Ministry of Health does not otherwise distinguish between civilians and combatants.
Also, more than 400 Hezbollah fighters have been killed since the Lebanese armed group fired the first salvos of a new war with Israel on March 2, two sources familiar with Hezbollah's tally told Reuters.
The figure is the first overall tally provided of Hezbollah fighters killed in Israel's expanding air and ground campaign in Lebanon. The group has issued sporadic statements regarding a few individual combatants, but has not provided an official overall toll.
The Israeli military has given a higher toll of the group's latest casualties than sources have said, saying this week it had killed at least 700 Hezbollah fighters in Lebanon, including hundreds of members of the group's elite Radwan Force.
On Friday, the Israeli military said a soldier and a combat officer were seriously wounded overnight during its operations in Lebanon. The army previously said four of its soldiers were killed in the fighting in southern Lebanon.
