Slain Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil describes being targeted by Israeli drone in 2024 'First time to lose her nerves' in the field She died today after being targeted again by Israeli strike
🚨BREAKING🚨Israeli forces are now issuing direct death threats to Lebanese journalists on WhatsApp as well as besieging them. Al-Akhbar correspondent @AmalKhalil83, who has been documenting the devastation across southern Lebanon, received these messages from an Israeli number (+972 54-869-5113): “We know where you are… we will reach you… leave if you want to keep your head on your shoulders.” First message: “Alright, my lady, you are moving from one village to another, but you still haven’t gone to enough funerals or hospitals. There is a lot of grief & sorrow behind that smile you try to show on Twitter. Let’s see what your answer will be… Is your house still standing, Anisa (Miss)? I hope so?” Second message: “We know where you are & we will reach you when the time comes. Even though you are not important to us, in the end we will take everything into account. I suggest you flee to Qatar or somewhere else if you want to keep your head connected to your shoulders :)” This is not intimidation. This is the IDF issuing an explicit death threat to a journalist for covering their crimes. At the same time, Israeli forces besieged Amal al-Khalil & journalist Zeinab Faraj in al-Tayri, blocking the Red Cross & Lebanese Army from reaching them. They were in a delegate vehicle when a drone strike hit a vehicle behind them, killing two people. Both journalists were trapped at the scene. Amal contacted the Red Cross before her phone died. Her last message confirmed she was still safe. Rescue teams still cannot reach the two besieged journalists, Amal al-Khalil & Zeinab Faraj. They are just 500 meters away, but the road has been cut off by an Israeli strike, according to Red Cross paramedics. This is targeting journalists in real time. This is a crime. Pure state terrorism against the press.
Mehdi Hasan can’t stop lying. He just lied on air that Israel’s nuclear program is bound by UN Security Council Resolution 487 under Chapter VII, the only framework that creates binding enforcement. Resolution 487 literally does not invoke “Chapter VII”. You know which does? Resolution 1737, which requires the Islamic Republic of Iran to suspend its nuclear activities. He’s understandably upset Israel and the US stopped his Islamist friends getting nukes, but that’s no excuse to lie to me, to Piers, and most importantly to the audience. @piersmorgan, fact check your guests. Your audience deserves better. @mehdirhasan
Lebanon is home to one of the largest remaining Christian populations in the Middle East, with many historic and sacred sites in the south. As Israel intensifies its bombing in the region, questions are growing about the impact on these communities and holy sites. Are these landmarks and communities being sacrificed for the greater Israel project? And why are Christian leaders around the world silent on this destruction? I discuss this and more with @ClaytonMorris and @natalimorris on @RedactedNews.
We're in the middle of our most dangerous war in at least two decades -- fueled by her precious Israel -- and CNN's Dana Ruth Schwartz Bash is still prattling on about Hasan Piker and his supposed insensitivity towards Israel and the suffering of her people. Ironically, one of the things that has annoyed me about Hasan is how constantly he goes out of his way to condemn anti-Semitism and talk about its evils even when it's not relevant to his point (and even when its existence is dubious). I get why he does it, but this insanely stupid two-week lynch mob proves that if you're an influential critic of Israel, you'll be widely branded an anti-Semite no matter how much you not only avoid anti-Semitism but aggressively denounce it, as he does.
With the greatest humility, I am pleased to announce that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America, along with their allies, have agreed to an immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon and elsewhere, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY. I warmly welcome the sagacious gesture and extend deepest gratitude to the leadership of both the countries and invite their delegations to Islamabad on Friday, 10th April 2026, to further negotiate for a conclusive agreement to settle all disputes. Both parties have displayed remarkable wisdom and understanding and have remained constructively engaged in furthering the cause of peace and stability. We earnestly hope, that the ‘Islamabad Talks’ succeed in achieving sustainable peace and wish to share more good news in coming days! @realDonaldTrump @JDVance @SecRubio @SteveWitkoff @SEPeaceMissions @drpezeshkian @mb_ghalibaf @araghchi
It's astonishing that you, a world leader who many respected for standing up to an illegal attack on your country, now support an illegal attack on another country. It completely kills your credibility. Right now. Iran is Ukraine. You may not like to hear that but that is a fact
