In April, an Israeli strike in Lebanon resulted in the death of Al-Akhbar reporter Amal Khalil and the wounding of freelance camerawoman Zeinab Faraj. The journalists were reportedly seeking refuge in a building after an initial strike targeted a vehicle traveling ahead of them. Rights groups have since characterized the attack as an apparent war crime.

Israel has denied intentionally targeting the journalists during the incident. The event has drawn international attention regarding the safety of media personnel operating in conflict zones and the legal implications of strikes involving non-combatants.
