Lebanese Journalist Killed by Israel

Khalil, 43, was trapped beneath rubble for hours after the strike, which also injured a freelance photographer.

Rescue workers claim they were fired upon by Israeli forces as they attempted to reach the scene, preventing timely medical care.

Lebanon's government has labeled the incident a 'war crime' and accused Israel of an established approach to targeting journalists to hide its conduct.

The Israeli army has stated it is currently reviewing the incident, which occurred despite a fragile 10-day ceasefire in the region.
