Mum loses a son

, April 15, 2014

Mother of Hamza Haj Hassan, a reporter of Hezbollah's Al-Manar television, holds his picture as she mourns his death in his home village in Shaath, on April 15. Three Lebanese journalists working for Al-Manar television were killed on Monday after coming under attack in the historic Christian town of Maaloula, north of Damascus. In a statement, Al-Manar accused "terrorists" of killing Haj Hassan, cameraman Mohamad Mantash and technician Halim Allaw who were in Maaloula to cover fighting between government forces, backed by Hezbollah fighters, and insurgents, mostly jihadis who took over the town in December.
