Lebanese Premier Calls Israeli Killing of Journalist a War Crime

Lebanon’s prime minister has accused Israel of committing war crimes after an airstrike in southern Lebanon killed a reporter and wounded a photojournalist. Amal Khalil, 43, was covering the aftermath of an earlier drone strike in at-Tiri when a second strike hit the building where she and photographer Zeinab Faraj had sought shelter. Rescue efforts were delayed amid continued attacks, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Officials say targeting journalists and blocking medical teams before striking again meets the definition of war crimes. International press freedom groups have condemned the incident, while the Israeli military insists it does not deliberately target journalists and is reviewing the details of what happened.
