Prime Minister Nawaf Salam wrote on X: "Targeting journalists, obstructing the access of relief teams to them, and even targeting their locations again after those teams arrive, constitutes clear-cut war crimes."
Salam added: "Israel’s targeting of media workers in the south while they are carrying out their professional duties can no longer be considered isolated incidents; it has become a documented pattern that we condemn and reject, just as all international laws and norms condemn and reject it," stressing that "Lebanon will spare no effort in pursuing these crimes before the competent international forums. I extend my sincerest condolences to the family of the martyr Amal Khalil, to her colleagues and friends, and to the entire Lebanese media community. I also wish journalist Zeinab Faraj a speedy recovery."
