Nawaf Salam accused Israel Defense Forces of war crimes after an air strike killed journalist Amal Khalil in southern Lebanon. Photographer Zeinab Faraj was injured. Lebanese officials said the journalists were hit while taking shelter after an earlier strike. They also alleged an ambulance was targeted. Salam said, “Targeting journalists… constitutes described war crimes.” The IDF denied targeting journalists and said it struck vehicles linked to Hezbollah posing a threat. The Committee to Protect Journalists said it was “outraged” and raised concerns over repeated strikes. (PC: BBC)
