"Amal Khalil was the type of person Israel fears the most: the one who cannot be intimidated into silence, the one who cannot be sent cowering into a corner, the one who openly defies brutal Israeli power."
"For two years, Amal received direct threats from the Israeli regime. In one interview, she recalled a call from a Mossad agent who threatened to sever her head from her shoulders if she didn't stop reporting from the south."
"Amal was travelling in a car with freelance photographer Zeinab Farraj when a vehicle in front of them was hit by an Israeli drone. The two women sought shelter in a nearby building where they called relatives and colleagues for help."
"Bint Jbeil was the site of a key battle between Israeli regime forces and Hezbollah fighters before the ceasefire. It is a symbolic site of resistance for many Lebanese."
Amal Khalil, a Lebanese journalist, was assassinated by the Israeli regime on April 22. Known for documenting life in southern Lebanon during Israeli invasions, she faced direct threats for two years. Despite a call from a Mossad agent threatening her life, she continued her reporting. Amal was targeted while on assignment near Bint Jbeil, a site of resistance. She was killed alongside photographer Zeinab Farraj after seeking shelter in a building that was bombed by Israeli forces.
