Lebanese journalist killed in Israeli strike

The death of Amal Khalil, a reporter for the Al-Akhbar newspaper, has intensified accusations that Israel is systematically targeting media personnel in southern Lebanon.

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam labeled the strike a 'war crime' intended to hide the reality of the conflict from the international community.

The Committee to Protect Journalists has expressed outrage over the incident, which occurred during a fragile 10-day ceasefire.

The strike is part of a broader intensification of hostilities that has seen the Israeli military establish a 'yellow line' buffer zone within Lebanese territory.
