[this is fucking outrageous, even for Israel.]

Prominent Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday in what appeared to be a targeted attack by the Israeli military in the town of Tyre in southern Lebanon. Her employer, Al-Akhbar, confirmed the death of their correspondent Wednesday evening.

The Red Cross was eventually able to return to the area after which Khalil was pronounced dead.

“The repeated strikes on the same location, the targeting of an area where journalists were sheltering, and the obstruction of medical and humanitarian access constitute a grave breach of international humanitarian law,” CPJ Regional Director Sara Qudah said in a statement.

“Outrageous, even for Israel?”

Have you been paying any attention at all, this is 100% the norm and they do so much worse as well.

She was lucky she didn't get raped and tortured. Israelis were in a really good mood that day

Yes, I have been paying attention. This is the most brazen attack on journalists and Red Cross in one single incident. I stand by what I wrote, (even if it's not really that important).

Kind of a bad headline “left to do” insinuates they didn’t double tap her which they did.
