Lebanon decries Israeli drone strike as war crime after journalist's death
Lebanon’s prime minister denounced an Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon as a war crime after it killed Amal Khalil, a veteran journalist with Al-Akhbar, and wounded Zeinab Faraj; Lebanese rescuers say they were blocked from reaching the scene for hours and that a Red Cross ambulance was fired upon. The Israeli Defense Forces deny targeting journalists, saying it struck vehicles and later a building that posed an immediate threat, while publishers and unions urge accountability amid a fragile ceasefire extension and ongoing regional tensions.
