The UN human rights agency condemns Israel’s targeted killing of six journalists in Gaza as a “grave breach of international humanitarian law.”
“Israel must respect and protect all civilians, including journalists,” the office of UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk writes on X.
The IDF has published documents it says show that Anas al-Sharif, who was killed in the strike, was a “terrorist operating under the guise of a journalist.”
