Rights groups call Israeli strike that killed journalist Amal Khalil an apparent war crime
Journalist Amal Khalil was killed and her colleague Zeinab Faraj wounded in an Israeli strike in April. Israel has denied targeting the journalists, while rights groups say the attack amounts to an apparent war crime.
Human rights groups said an Israeli strike in southern Lebanon in April, which killed journalist Amal Khalil and wounded her colleague Zeinab Faraj, amounts to an apparent war crime.
The groups said the two were working with equipment that clearly identified them as press at the time of the strike. Israel's military has denied deliberately targeting the journalists, rejecting the allegations.
The incident has renewed international concern over the safety of journalists working in conflict zones. Rights groups are calling for an independent investigation and say those responsible should be held accountable.
