Blinken calls for thorough investigation into killing of journalist in Lebanon by Israeli tank

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has called on Israel to conclude and release the findings of its investigation into the artillery strikes that killed a journalist and injured six others in Lebanon. Blinken's comments come after rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, found evidence suggesting that the strikes were deliberate and may constitute a war crime. Israel's military is currently reviewing the circumstances of the attacks but has not yet released any findings. At least 63 journalists have been killed since the start of the war in Gaza.

"Israeli Tank Strike Kills Reuters Journalist: Investigation Reveals Deliberate Act"

An investigation by Reuters has revealed that an Israeli tank fired on a group of journalists in Lebanon, killing a Reuters video journalist and injuring six others. Human rights organizations have concluded that the attack was likely intentional and a war crime. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have called for an investigation into the incident. The Israeli military denies targeting journalists. Meanwhile, the United Nations Security Council is considering a draft resolution demanding a cease-fire in the Gaza Strip, following Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' invocation of Article 99 to urge a halt to the war. Aid agencies warn that they cannot increase aid to Gaza until the fighting stops, as the humanitarian situation in the region continues to deteriorate.

Israeli Tank Fire Kills Journalist Issam Abdallah in Lebanon

Investigations by Reuters and human rights groups have concluded that an Israeli tank firing in quick succession killed journalist Issam Abdallah and injured six others while they were filming in Lebanon. The reports presented evidence including munitions fragments, satellite images, survivor accounts, and video recordings. The attacks, which targeted a group of journalists clearly identified as press, should be investigated as possible war crimes, according to Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. Israel has promised to investigate the incident but has not yet released any findings.

Israeli Inaction in Journalist's Killing Revealed in Report.

A new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has found a pattern of Israeli inaction in the killings of journalists covering Israel and the West Bank over the past two decades. The report focused on the cases of 20 reporters whose deaths it attributed to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) since 2001 and found that no one has been charged or held accountable in any of them. Even if the killings were not intentional, the military still has an obligation to safeguard reporters, who are considered civilians and noncombatants under international law. The lack of transparency in investigations and failure to hold anyone responsible has fed international skepticism about Israel's commitment to protecting journalists.
