Beirut protests after journalist Amal Khalil lilled in Israeli strike

Protests have erupted in Beirut after Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed in an Israeli airstrike, with another reporter severely wounded. Demonstrators, colleagues, and emergency responders say the attack was part of a wider pattern of targeting journalists and obstructing rescue efforts in southern Lebanon.

In this report from RT’s Steve Sweeney, eyewitness accounts and statements from protesters describe a deeply emotional response in Martyrs’ Square, where many are calling Amal Khalil’s killing a direct assassination and a war crime. The report also examines the broader context of ceasefire violations, ongoing military escalation, and growing anger over attacks on civilians, medics, and the press.
