Israeli strike on journalists in Lebanon warrants 'war crime' probe: watchdogs

The Israeli strike that killed one journalist and injured six others merits a "war crime" investigation, rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch told AFP on Thursday.

Issam Abdallah, 37, was killed instantly in the strike. The others present – two other Reuters journalists, two from Al Jazeera and two from AFP – were all injured. AFP photographer Christina Assi, 28, was seriously wounded, later had a leg amputated and is still in hospital.
