Lebanese reporter Amal Khalil killed in Israeli strikes: Why this is a war crime

On 25 April 2026, Lebanese reporter Amal Khalil was killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon, and a wounded Lebanese journalist recounted hours under the strikes. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu instructed the military to strike Hezbollah targets 'with force' after the army alleged repeated truce violations. Israel and Hezbollah accused each other of breaking the ceasefire.

Israeli strikes killed six more people in Lebanon, along with a UNIFIL soldier, according to Al-Ahram, and four more according to Reuters. The Israeli military said it struck Hezbollah rocket launchers and military buildings in the south. Anadolu counted more than 2,490 people killed in Lebanon by Israeli attacks since 2 March. Israel also barred return to 59 towns.
