A Lebanese Member of Parliament has accused Israel of showing “no goodwill” following the killing of journalist Amal Khalil in an airstrike in southern Lebanon, intensifying political outrage. Khalil, reporting near al-Tiri, was killed after multiple Israeli strikes hit her location and a house where she sought shelter, while another journalist was seriously injured. Lebanese officials and media groups condemned the incident as a potential violation of international law, alleging rescue efforts were obstructed. Israel denied deliberately targeting journalists, stating the strikes were aimed at Hezbollah-linked positions. The incident has further strained fragile ceasefire efforts and heightened tensions across the region. (PC: X)
