Global and Lebanese rights groups on Thursday accused Israel of intentionally targeting and killing Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil earlier this year and obstructing medical workers from reaching her as she lay critically wounded.
Khalil, a longtime correspondent for Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar in southern Lebanon, was killed in an Israeli strike in April in the village of al-Tiri, about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the border with Israel, while covering the war between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group. She was one of 11 journalists killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon since 2023.
