Rights groups are calling for an investigation into the Israeli strike that killed a Reuters reporter and injured six others, labeling it a potential war crime. The Israeli army, however, has stated that the incident is under review and has defended its actions, stating that the journalists had placed themselves in a dangerous combat zone. The army claims that the strike was in response to an attack by Hezbollah fighters along the Lebanese border. The incident has sparked calls for a war crimes probe from international rights groups and has drawn attention to the dangers faced by journalists covering conflicts in the region. The US Secretary of State has emphasized the importance of Israel’s investigation into the killing, while media rights groups have highlighted the unprecedented danger faced by journalists covering the war.
