Hoteit sustained a shrapnel wound to his foot and was transported to Al-Najda Al-Shaabia Hospital in Nabatieh, where he underwent surgery and is receiving medical treatment.
The NNA reported that the Israeli military fired a shell that landed near the journalist.
The strike comes just one day after Iran and the United States finalized a memorandum of understanding to end the war on all fronts, including in Lebanon.
Despite the announcement, Israeli forces continue to attack areas in southern Lebanon.
