The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is demanding independent international investigations into Israel’s killing of journalists during its offensive in Lebanon, Al Jazeera reports.

“Journalists are civilians, and the international community has an obligation to protect them by making it clear to Israel that their long-standing record of aggression and impunity in journalist killings will not be tolerated,” CPJ Programme Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna said in a statement.

“International bodies must be given access to conduct independent investigations into these killings. Deadly attacks on journalists, who are protected under international humanitarian law, and obstructions to reporting must immediately stop.”
