The Canadian government is facing mounting pressure to ensure justice and accountability for the killing of one of its citizens in an Israeli attack on southern Lebanon last month, Al Jazeera reports.

Hassan Haidar, a 38-year-old father of five from Windsor, Ontario, was killed in an Israeli drone attack in Qana, a Lebanese village near Tyre, on April 10.

Al Jazeera has pressed Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand on the killing, as Ottawa previously said it had asked Israel to investigate.

“This strikes me as odd only because if a Canadian citizen died in Ukraine, would you be asking Moscow to investigate?” Al Jazeera’s Scott McLean asks Anand.

She replies, “We’re requesting all of the information that might be available, leading to the death of a Canadian citizen.

Anand adds that the government “will ensure that no stone is left unturned”.
