Two Israeli strikes that killed a Reuters videographer and wounded six other journalists in south Lebanon nearly two months ago were apparently deliberate and a direct attack on civilians, two international human rights groups said Thursday.
Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said that the strikes should be investigated as a war crime. Their findings were released simultaneously with similar investigations by Reuters and Agence France-Presse.
Israeli officials have said that they don't deliberately target journalists.
The investigations by the rights groups found that two strikes 37 seconds apart targeted the group of journalists near the village of Alma al-Shaab on Oct. 13.
The strikes killed Issam Abdallah and wounded Reuters journalists Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television cameraman Elie Brakhya and reporter Carmen Joukhadar, and AFP’s photographer Christina Assi, and video journalist Dylan Collins.

Proof needed. BTW, if you embed yourself with the enemy as some did when the initial attacks occured in Israel, you may well suffer consequences
--- Except there's more and more coming out that isn't true. That Israel knew about the Oct 7 attack before it happened, that Hamas has not been "embedded" with Palestinian civilians. Or are does Israel's government mean by "embedded" they think that Hamas is INSIDE the civilians in their bodies.
Let's just take a look at the numbers: The Israeli military itself says that for every Hamas fighter they've alleged to have killed, they also kill 2 civilians - and they call that a "positive" ratio. They claim to have killed 5,000 "Hamas militants" (with no proof) yet then have killed 10,000 civilians. That's really justifiable? How? Or that the number of deaths on Oct 7 for Israel keeps decreasing on their end - I read somewhere now it's at 1500 and I think about 600+ were military...and the government knew about it. Add in all the other years in the last 75 of Israel government and military and their ethnic cleansing...
It's pretty disgusting to see people justify genocide and apartheid yet here we are. I can't wait for the hysterical, asinine responses. BTW Charlie there's tons of proof of Israel insdiscriminately murdering civilians. Snipers shooting children on bicycles. Forcing them to evacuate the hospital and leave preemie babies to die. (Still don't have any proof of "command center" in Al Shifa). Killing journalists who were CLEARLY identified as such. The list goes on...
