US EditionIsraeli strikes in southern Lebanon kill Lebanese journalist, wound another
The Israeli military said it struck vehicles and a nearby building after identifying an immediate threat, while rescue teams were delayed for hours.
- On Wednesday, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam accused Israel of war crimes after an airstrike in southern Tiri killed journalist Amal Khalil and wounded freelancer Zeinab Faraj.
- The strike occurred during a 10-day ceasefire initiated last week by President Donald Trump, while Israel stated it targeted a 'military structure' used by Hezbollah.
- Lebanese authorities alleged Israeli forces obstructed rescue efforts, with Red Cross workers operating under 'hostile gunfire,' before rescuers recovered Khalil's body from the Al-Akhbar newspaper correspondent's location.
- Salam posted on social media that attacks on media workers were no longer 'isolated incidents' but 'an established method which we condemn,' prompting criticism from the United Nations and CPJ.
- A second round of direct talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials is scheduled for Thursday in Washington, as this incident follows reports of multiple journalists killed by the Israeli military this month.
