Beirut: At least 27 journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks in Lebanon since March 2, along with many others wounded, the Lebanese Press Syndicate Editors said Thursday.

According to Anadolu Agency, the syndicate condemned Israel's targeting of a group of journalists in the southern town of Tayri on Wednesday, where reporter Amal Khalil was killed and her colleague Zeinab Faraj was wounded. The syndicate noted that Khalil had previously received death threats from the Israeli army.

The statement highlighted that with Khalil's killing, the number of journalists and media workers killed has risen to 27, in addition to a large number of injured. The syndicate called on the Federation of Arab Journalists to collaborate with international and Arab press unions to support Lebanese journalists amid the deliberate Israeli attacks.

The syndicate also advised journalists working in Lebanon to exercise caution, avoid high-risk areas, and coordinate with the Lebanese army and other official security forces in areas exposed to Israeli attacks, including UNIFIL, the Lebanese Red Cross, and local relief teams, to avoid any unexpected fatal risks.

The syndicate accused Israel of exceeding all limits with its actions against Lebanese civilians, particularly journalists, and urged the Lebanese government to take urgent action at international bodies and file a legal case against Israel.

During Wednesday's attack, Israeli forces reportedly prevented the Red Cross and Lebanese army forces from reaching the two journalists and targeted a road linking Tayri and Haddatha to block rescue teams, as reported by the state news agency NNA.

Since March 2, Israeli attacks on Lebanon have resulted in 2,475 deaths, 7,696 injuries, and the displacement of more than 1.6 million people, according to official figures. A 10-day ceasefire announced by the US on April 16 is set to expire Sunday and has been violated daily by Israel.
