Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed on Wednesday evening in an Israeli strike while carrying out her work in the town of Tayri, southern Lebanon.

Minutes before her martyrdom, Khalil posted on Facebook that Lebanese Civil Defence teams in Rmeish had treated a wounded fighter who arrived in Ain Ebel from Bint Jbeil, before contacting the Lebanese Red Cross to transfer him to a liberated area.

She said Israeli forces stationed in Debel became aware of the wounded man and demanded, in a phone call with paramedics, that he be handed over, threatening to target the ambulance. The paramedics refused.

Khalil added that the fighter later decided to walk to Debel to surrender himself in order to protect the lives of the medics and local residents, as surveillance drones flew at low altitude.

Lebanon witnessed tense hours earlier on Wednesday after Israeli shelling hit the town of Tayri, targeting journalists Amal Khalil and Zeinab Faraj during field coverage. Rescue teams faced difficulties reaching the area, with Israel reportedly preventing paramedics from accessing Khalil’s location for several hours.

Following extensive contacts and movement, ambulance teams, escorted by the army, were able to enter Tayri. Reuters confirmed that Khalil’s body was found inside the damaged building.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.
