2026年3月19日,RT记者史蒂夫·斯威尼和阿里·利达·斯贝提在黎巴嫩南部的卡西米亚桥附近幸存下来.他们当时正在报道以色列袭击造成超过一百万人流离失所的事件. On March 19, 2026, RT journalists Steve Sweeney and Ali Rida Sbeity survived an Israeli missile strike near Al-Qasmiya Bridge in southern Lebanon while reporting on Israeli attacks that have displaced over a million people. 斯威尼称这次袭击是针对记者的故意攻击,这是"保护记者委员会"记录的更广泛模式的一部分. 该组织认为以色列在2024年和2025年全球三分之二的记者杀害事件中负责,其中包括自2023年以来至少261名巴勒斯坦记者在加沙遇难. Sweeney described the attack as a deliberate targeting of journalists, part of a broader pattern documented by the Committee to Protect Journalists, which found Israel responsible for two-thirds of global journalist killings in 2024 and 2025, including at least 261 Palestinian journalists in Gaza since 2023. 尽管有明确的证据将袭击事件与以色列联系起来, 西方媒体却淡化或忽略了这一事件, 英国政府没有直接谴责此事, 反而指责伊朗和真主党. Despite clear evidence linking the strike to Israel, Western media outlets downplayed or omitted the incident, and the UK government offered no direct condemnation, instead blaming Iran and Hezbollah. 俄罗斯官员谴责这次袭击是非法的, CPJ呼吁进行调查, 再次强调记者不是合法目标. RT and Russian officials condemned the attack as unlawful, and the CPJ called for an investigation, reaffirming that journalists are not legitimate targets. 斯威尼在同一天又回到了报道, 他发誓这种暴力不会使独立新闻业沉默. Sweeney returned to reporting the same day, vowing that such violence would not silence independent journalism.
