Israeli Strike Kills Lebanese Journalist

Israeli Strike Kills Lebanese Journalist

Lebanon’s Prime Minister has condemned the attack as a 'war crime,' accusing the Israeli military of a systematic pattern of targeting members of the press.

Rescue teams were reportedly blocked from reaching the scene by ongoing Israeli fire, leaving Khalil trapped under rubble for hours.

The strike occurred despite the existence of a fragile ten-day ceasefire that has been repeatedly tested by both sides.

Hezbollah claimed it launched drone attacks on Israeli troops in response to the incident.

The death of Khalil has sparked international outrage and renewed calls for greater protection of journalists in conflict zones.
