In a scathing rebuke, three UN human rights experts have demanded a comprehensive and impartial probe into the Israeli military’s recent lethal assault on three journalists in Lebanon, branding the incident a “flagrant assault on press freedom perpetrated by Israeli forces.” UN special rapporteurs Irene Khan, Morris Tidball-Binz, and Ben Saul expressed their outrage on Thursday, underscoring that journalists engaged in their professional duties during armed conflict are entitled to protection as civilians and should not be targeted or made the subject of attack.
The experts emphasized that the deliberate killing of journalists not directly involved in hostilities constitutes a grave infringement of international human rights and humanitarian law, and a war crime. Their statement highlighted the Israeli military’s lethal strike on March 28 against the car of Al Mayadeen journalist Fatima Ftouni, her brother, freelance photojournalist Mohamad Ftouni, and Al-Manar’s Ali Shoaib in southern Lebanon. Al Mayadeen and Al-Manar are media outlets affiliated with the Lebanese group Hezbollah, and Israel had accused Shoaib of being a fighter without providing any evidence, a claim that the experts have not validated.
