A new report by Human Rights Watch has found an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon that killed three journalists in October, was most likely deliberate and a war crime. The report also says Israeli forces used US arms in the attack on the southern town of Hasbaiyya. It targeted a compound where dozens of journalists were staying, and reporting on hostilities between Israeli forces and Hezbollah. The attack killed Lebanese journalists Ghassan Najjar, Mohammad Reda and Wissam Kassem. Richard Weir is Senior Crisis, Conflict, and Arms Researcher at Human Rights Watch and he says the attack is a “terrible mark” on Israel and the United States.
