Israel-Lebanon War: Targeted on Duty? The Tragic Killing of Reporter Amal Khalil in Lebanon

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, a veteran reporter for Al-Akhbar, was killed on April 22, 2026, after an Israeli airstrike hit the house in al-Tiri where she was taking cover. Her colleague, Zeinab Faraj, was seriously wounded and rescued. Rescue efforts for Khalil were reportedly delayed for six hours as workers faced Israeli fire and sound grenades. This incident occurred during a fragile 10-day ceasefire that began on April 16.
