What? We are supposed to mourn the loss of a paid liar?
Gee. Be a shame if that were to happen to that CNN reporter in Tehran.
Uh.........
She must have been a Lebanese Christian........expendable to the Israelis.
“reporter”. Just like like those smuggling arms and rockets in their ambulances are “medics”
Journalists sure do think they are special and sacred.
“She must have been a Lebanese Christian........expendable to the Israelis.”
You admit pure guessing in order to indict Jews generally.
Embodying my tagline daily.
Keep up the good work!
Oh just shut up you stupid hateful woman.

“She must have been a Lebanese Christian........expendable to the Israelis.”
On the contrary, during the civil war, Israel admitted Lebanese Christians to Israeli hospitals for emergency care, airlifting them in via helicopter, when necessary. “Amal Khalil” could be Christian, Moslem, or Druze.
An “Israeli strike” could mean missile, drone, or IDF troops, and like it or not, no matter how careful you try to be, civilians do get killed by accident, something that neither you nor Senor Morcos seem to get.
Gee. Be a shame if that were to happen to that CNN reporter in Tehran.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil killed in Israeli strike on a house where she took cover, paper says
By BASSEM MROUE and SARAH EL DEEB, Associated Press, April 22, 2026
BEIRUT (AP) — A Lebanese journalist was killed Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike on a house in southern Lebanon where she had taken cover while reporting on the Israel-Hezbollah war. The daily Al-Akhbar newspaper says its reporter Amal Khalil was killed in the southern village of al-Tiri.
Many Christian villages in South Lebanon have been affected by the Israeli bombardment, leading to significant displacement. Despite emigration and displacement, a, small, resilient Christian community remains in southern Lebanon which often marks Easter under threat from the Israeli regional conflict.
Khalil had been covering the conflict in Lebanon between Israel and the Lebanese Hezbollah militant group that resumed in early March, in the shadow of the U.S.-Israeli war in Iran. She took cover in the house in al-Tiri after an earlier Israeli airstrike hit near the car she was traveling in with another colleague.
The Lebanese health ministry said the first strike killed two people. A second Israeli strike then hit the house in al-Tiri where Khalil and her colleague Zeinab Faraj had taken cover.
Khalil remained under the rubble for hours before the Lebanese army, civil defense and the Lebanese Red Cross were able to get to the scene. Khalil’s body was retrieved shortly before midnight, at least six hours after the strike.
Israel’s military said individuals in the village had violated the ceasefire, endangering its troops. Israel denied that it targets journalists or that it prevented rescue teams from reaching the area. It said the incident was under review.”Killing of journalists is a crime and a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law,” said Lebanon’s Information Minister Paul Morcos. Khalil, who was from southern Lebanon, had been covering the area since 2006 for al-Akhbar. Her latest reporting was about Israeli demolitions of Lebanese homes in villages where Israeli troops are now positioned inside Lebanon.
Her death brings to nine the number of journalists killed in Lebanon so far this year. At least 2,300 people have been killed in Israeli strikes and more than 1 million displaced since the latest Israel-Hezbollah war erupted on March 2. Earlier on Wednesday, Reporters Without Borders called for international pressure on the Israeli army to allow Khalil’s rescue. Committee to Protect Journalists expressed its “outrage” at the apparent targeting of the two journalists and warned the obstruction of rescue efforts “may amount to a war crime.”
Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun asked the Lebanese Red Cross to coordinate with the Lebanese army and U.N. peacekeepers “to carry out the rescue operation” as quickly as possible.
In late March, an Israeli airstrike on southern Lebanon killed three journalists covering the war. Hezbollah’s al-Manar TV said its longtime correspondent Ali Shoeib was killed. Israel’s military said it had targeted Shoeib, accusing him of being a Hezbollah intelligence operative, without providing evidence. Also killed in the same strike was reporter Fatima Ftouni, who worked for the Beirut-based Al-Mayadeen TV along with her brother Mohammed Ftouni, a video journalist.
Days earlier, an Israeli airstrike on an apartment in central Beirut killed Mohammed Sherri, the head of political programs at Hezbollah’s at Al-Manar TV, along with his wife.
The false idol worshipping Israel-firsters don’t want you to know that Lebanon is 30-40% Christian. Israel can do no wrong according to them. Rev. 2:9, Rev. 3:9 says otherwise.
Not as good as a Hezbollah terrorist, but ....
41% of Lebanon is Christian... And I believe there was a time in it’s history where it was over 50% Christian... The most Arab Christian state in the Middle East. French is also the one of the most spoken languages of Lebanon amongst Christians. At one time it was regarded as the riviera of the Middle East and was visited by many westerners.
Then the Shia Islamist started invading it... After that it went down the toilet.
Since the Israelis were targeting Hezbollah, she might have been trying to interview one of them.

“Where Should I Be, Shama‘ or Khiam?”: Amal Khalil’s Two Decades of Militant Journalism
This interview, recorded amid war and displacement, revisits her two decades of militant journalism, a practice of rooted commitment to the cause of liberation. For Amal, journalism is not a profession but resistance by other means — where reporting is an act of witnessing, and writing becomes a vital line of defense. Her life’s work is a chronicle of her people’s daily struggle against Zionism.
Looks like her struggles are now over.
