Blinken urges Israel to finish probe into killing of journalist in Lebanon

Al Jazeera  

Blinken’s comments come after rights groups say Israel should be investigated over possible war crime. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Israel to conclude and release the findings of a probe into artillery strikes that killed a journalist and wounded six others in Lebanon. Blinken’s comments came after separate investigations by Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Reuters and AFP news agencies found that an Israeli tank was responsible for the October 13 strikes in southern Lebanon. “Witness accounts and video and photo evidence that Human Rights Watch verified indicate that the journalists were well removed from ongoing hostilities, clearly identifiable as members of the media, and had been stationary for at least 75 minutes before they were hit by two consecutive strikes,” the rights group said. “Human Rights Watch found no evidence of a military target near the journalists’ location.” Amnesty said its investigation showed that the Israeli military had likely carried out a “direct attack on civilians” and should be investigated for committing a potential war crime.
