He was known for reporting from southern Lebanon, particularly on developments related to the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. On March 28, 2026, he was killed in an Israeli airstrike that struck a vehicle carrying journalists in the town of Jezzine. His death has been widely condemned by Lebanese authorities and media organizations, who described the incident as a targeted attack on the press.
Ali Shoeib was an experienced field reporter for Al Manar TV, often covering military and political developments in southern Lebanon, especially along the border with Israel. His reporting focused on the activities and impact of the conflict involving Hezbollah and Israeli forces. The Israel Defense Forces alleged that Shoeib was linked to Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force and accused him of gathering and disseminating sensitive information under the guise of journalism, though no supporting evidence was presented publicly.
