Editor’s Note: Be aware of language in embedded video.

Dramatic footage captured by an RT reporter and cameraman on Thursday shows an Israeli strike exploding just behind them.

Reporter Steven Sweeney and his cameraman Ali Rida were injured by an Israeli strike outside Mazraat Bsaileh near the Al-Qasmiya Bridge in southern Lebanon, according to RT, formerly Russia Today. Rida claimed in an X video posted to RT’s account that the Israeli military struck them deliberately, as both men were clearly marked with press credentials.
