Israeli strikes on journalists in Lebanon ‘apparently deliberate’: Human Rights Watch
ANKARA (AA) – Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Thursday said that Israel’s deadly strikes on journalists in Lebanon were an “apparently deliberate attack on civilians and thus a war crime.”
“Two Israeli strikes on a group of Lebanese, American, and Iraqi journalists in south Lebanon on October 13, 2023, were apparently deliberate attacks on civilians, which is a war crime,” the rights watchdog said.
HRW stressed that “evidence indicates that the Israeli military knew or should have known that the group of people they were firing on were civilians.”
It called on allies of Israel, namely the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, to suspend their military support to Tel Aviv.
On Oct. 13, Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon killed Issam Abdullah, a Reuters journalist, and injured six others.
