Human rights groups call Amal Khalil killing a war crime
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have indicated that the death of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil and the injury of Zainab Faraj in an Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon in April constitutes a war crime. Evidence based on photographs, videos, and witnesses' testimonies confirmed that both journalists were civilians and not military targets. The organizations affirmed that the Israeli military was aware or should have been aware that the individuals targeted were not military objectives, despite Israel's claim that it targeted two individuals associated with Hezbollah. They also noted that Israeli forces prevented rescue teams from reaching Amal Khalil during her attempt at rescue. This incident is part of a series of attacks on media personnel, which have resulted in the death of 27 journalists since the beginning of 2026. International organizations are calling for an investigation and accountability to ensure such attacks on civilians and journalists do not happen again.
