Lebanese Journalist Killed by Israel

Lebanese Journalist Killed by Israel

The killing of Khalil has sparked international condemnation and heightened tensions during the fragile ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.

Witnesses report that rescuers were initially blocked from accessing the strike site by gunfire, further complicating the emergency response.

Khalil is the latest of at least fourteen media workers killed in Lebanon since the conflict escalated in March.

While the Israeli military says it is reviewing the incident, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam asserts that the targeting of journalists is no longer an isolated occurrence but a systematic tactic of war.
