Human Rights Watch (HRW) has categorically labeled the Israeli navy’s strikes on journalists in Lebanon on October 13, 2023, as potential struggle crimes.
The assault, which resulted within the dying of Reuters journalist Issam Abdullah and accidents to 6 others, occurred in southern Lebanon. HRW’s investigation suggests these strikes weren’t unintended however deliberate assaults on civilians, thus constituting a struggle crime.
The group emphasizes that proof factors to the Israeli navy’s consciousness of concentrating on civilians.
HRW requires rapid motion from Israel’s main allies—the US, the UK, Canada, and Germany—to halt navy help to Israel in mild of those allegations.
