Human Rights Watch sent a letter to the UNIFIL, UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon, on May 7, but did not receive a response. Human Rights Watch also sent a letter to the Israeli military on June 17 requesting information about the attacks. The EU should immediately suspend the trade pillar of its Association Agreement with Israel as long as Israel’s atrocity crimes persist, Human Rights Watch said. Human Rights Watch geolocated the journalists’ hiding place and confirmed the presence of a tiled overhang in front of a food storage. Human Rights Watch has previously documented repeated, apparently deliberate attacks by the Israeli military against journalists in Lebanon in 2023 and 2024.
