Israeli strike kills Lebanese journalist

Journalist Amal Khalil of the Al-Akhbar newspaper was killed on Wednesday when an Israeli strike hit a house where she had taken shelter in the village of al-Tiri.

Her colleague, photojournalist Zeinab Faraj, was wounded in the same attack and is currently in stable condition following surgery.

Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has accused Israel of a systematic pattern of targeting members of the press.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has expressed outrage over the incident, which marks the ninth journalist fatality in the region this year.
