The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has shared a detailed update, expressing outrage that Israeli forces “apparently targeted Lebanese journalists Amal Khalil and Zeinab Faraj in Al Tayri, southern Lebanon, on Wednesday”, according to Al Jazeera.

The update included details of how Khalil was found dead hours after she was last heard from at approximately 4:10pm local time (6:10pm PKT), when she called her family and the Lebanese military, according to colleagues and news reports.

“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,” CPJ regional director Sara Qudah said.

“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,” Qudah added.
