"The deliberate killing of journalists not directly participating in hostilities constitutes a serious violation of international human rights and humanitarian law and a war crime."
"Israeli officials know this, yet they choose to ignore it emboldened by impunity for their previous killings of journalists in Lebanon, Gaza and the West Bank."
"In February, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) reported that Israel was responsible for two-thirds of all killings of journalists in 2024 and 2025."
Three UN experts have called for an independent investigation into Israel's killing of three journalists in Lebanon, labeling it an egregious attack on press freedom. They emphasized that journalists are civilians and should not be targeted during armed conflict. The deliberate killing of journalists not involved in hostilities is a serious violation of international law and constitutes a war crime. The Israeli military's actions have been criticized, particularly regarding the targeting of journalists affiliated with media outlets linked to armed groups, which does not equate to participation in hostilities.
