Israel's Pattern of Impunity: The Killing of Amal Khalil Exposes a Larger Problem The killing of Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil by Israeli forces is part of a long series of attacks on journalists and civilians in Lebanon and Gaza.
What makes this incident particularly egregious is not just the targeting of two women who were clearly civilians, but also Israel's apparent attempt to conceal the truth about its actions.
Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and The Legal Agenda have found that Israeli forces deliberately targeted a building where Khalil and photojournalist Zainab Faraj had taken shelter, despite knowing or having reason to know they were civilians.
