An Israeli airstrike in Lebanon that killed three journalists and injured others is believed to be a deliberate attack on civilians and a potential war crime, according to Human Rights Watch. The airstrike took place on October 25 and is one of the deadliest attacks on the media since the Israel-Hezbollah war began over a year ago. The group has called for the suspension of weapons transfers to Israel due to its repeated unlawful attacks on civilians. The U.S. government has previously stated that Israel's use of U.S.-provided weapons likely violated international humanitarian law during the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.
