CPJ 'outraged' over Israeli targeting of Lebanese journalists




The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has slammed Israel for its attack on Lebanese journalists Amal Khalil and Zeinab Faraj in southern Lebanon. 

The CPJ wrote that it was "outraged" at the targeting of the two reporters while they were on duty.

Khalil and Faraj were both covering the recent attacks on the southern village of Bint Jbeil. An Israeli attack struck a civilian vehicle on the main road in al-Tayri, leaving both to shelter in a nearby building

Shortly after, another strike hit the building they were sheltering in directly, leaving the two trapped underneath the rubble. 

Israeli destruction and fire towards ambulances prevented rescue operations from reaching the site of the attack. While Faraj was wounded, her counterpart Khalil was confirmed to be killed. 

"The repeated strikes on the same location, the targeting of an area where journalists were sheltering, and the obstruction of medical and humanitarian access constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law," said CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah.

"CPJ holds Israeli forces responsible for the endangerment of Amal Khalil’s life and the injuries Zeinab Faraj sustained after the targeted strike on their location."
