Israeli strike that wounded TV crew in Lebanon not ‘accidental’, Russia says Russia has condemned an Israeli air strike that injured a TV crew from state-run RT in Lebanon as not “accidental”. Video agency Ruptly - a subsidiary of RT - posted footage showing an explosion and plumes of smoke rising metres behind RT’s reporter Steve Sweeney, who was wearing a bulletproof vest with a sign “Press” on it, as he delivered an on-air report. Sweeney and his cameraman “were injured in an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon while they were reporting”, Ruptly said on Telegram, adding both were “conscious and receiving medical attention”.
