BEIRUT (Sputnik) -The Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon that resulted in the death of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, along with the obstruction of rescue teams' access to the scene, constitute war crimes, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam stated on Thursday.
“Targeting journalists and obstructing the access of rescue teams to them, and then the renewed targeting of those teams after they’d arrived, constitute described war crimes,” Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam posted to X.
Israeli attacks on journalists working in Lebanon are no longer isolated incidents but a persistent pattern, Salam added—one Lebanon condemns and rejects. The prime minister said Lebanon will seek international scrutiny and hold those responsible accountable.
Salam expressed his condolences to the family of Khalil, her colleagues, and the entire Lebanese journalism community, and wished journalist Zeinab Faraj a speedy recovery.
