Reporter narrowly escapes missile strike in shocking footage

A British reporter working for Russian state broadcaster RT has narrowly escaped a missile strike in southern Lebanon, with the moment being caught on camera.

An image shows the missile moments before making impact as RT's Lebanon Bureau Chief Steve Sweeney and his cameraman Ali Rida were crossing a bridge.

The pair has received treatment for shrapnel injuries.

After leaving hospital, the reporter blamed Israel for what he described as a deliberate attack.

The IDF released a statement claiming the region where the strike occurred was being used by Hezbollah to transport weapons and move terrorists.
