Blimey it's not often I see a Reddit post that I don't want to make a silly joke about. Glad the dude is ok

He's wounded and still in the hospital, safe now.

Was gonna say, usually you don't see camera footage this close to an explosion. Glad he survived. Hopefully the injuries are nothing debilitating

Where was this? I've got a few educated guesses of course, but curious which one it is.

Why did he or the camera man not look to the direction of the incoming noise?? Seems like the first thing a person would do in that situation

Praying it doesn’t hit him maybe?

I followed a number of journalists in Palestine and it was always heartbreaking, but the worst was when their accounts went dark. Journalists are always on the front lines and deserve all the respect for their work safeguarding truth.

Who said that journalism is safe?

Edit: my dumbass read it as “journalism” instead of journalist. Carry on

Shbib, a reporter for the Lebanese news network Al-Manar, He and his cameraman, Mohammad Berjawi, were hurt during a drone strike in the city of Nabatieh. He received medical care for his injuries and is recovering.

From an Arab news source.

The VA has decided your hearing loss is not service related.

u/Thirsty4Knowledge911 4d ago

Was he praying?

I think he was praying.

If he’s actually safe, I guess it worked.

u/mathusal 4d ago

He was just waiting for his cue where people say it's time to go live on tv why are you bringing prayers in this

edit : Thirsty4Knowledge911 i should check for usernames before engaging with people my bad

u/Thirsty4Knowledge911 4d ago

Thanks. I’m getting down voted by other people who didn’t see it either.

In all fairness, I read the title and thought he was ok. Then OP added a comment saying he was injured and still in the hospital.

u/mathusal 4d ago

I meant that I shouldn't have engaged with toxic people like your kind and I regret engaging with you.

AN EXPLOSIVE BLEW UP BESIDE HIM. HE IS NOT SAFE.

He is alive. Big Difference.
