Rescue workers say a Lebanese journalist was killed in an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon.

The daily Al-Akhbar newspaper says its reporter Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday in the southern village of al-Tiri.

Khalil had been covering the Israel-Hezbollah war, which resumed in early March, in the shadow of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran.
