Solidarity with my friend @AmalKhalil83 and Zeinab Faraj currently besieged by I$raeli forces in Al Tiri in southern Lebanon who are refusing to allow the army or Lebanese Red Cross to attend to victims of an airstrike or carry out a safe evacuation of those trapped

🚨 A journalist colleague, @loffredojeremy reached out to the number that had sent death threats to Lebanese journalist @AmalKhalil, asking for comment. This was the response: “These are not innocent people… journalists affiliated with Hezbollah… should know that they are destined for death.” Read that again. A direct threat is not only repeated, it is justified. Journalists are being labeled, dehumanised, & openly treated as legitimate targets. This is not intimidation. This is the normalisation of targeting journalists. Amal al-Khalil was reporting from village to village, documenting funerals, destruction, & the human cost of Israel’s war on Lebanon. She is not a combatant. She is a journalist. And yet, the message is clear: those who report are being threatened with death. This is being said openly. Read the message below 👇
