The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has called for an independent investigation to determine whether an Israeli attack in southern Lebanon that killed two reporters and a media worker was deliberate, Al Jazeera reports.
“CPJ is deeply outraged by yet another deadly Israeli airstrike on journalists, this time hitting a compound hosting 18 members of the press in south Lebanon,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna.
“Deliberately targeting journalists is a war crime under international law. This attack must be independently investigated and the perpetrators must be held to account.”
