Recent use of white phosphorus munitions by Israeli forces in Lebanon underscores the need for new international law to regulate these devastating weapons. White phosphorus munitions can inflict excruciating burns and cause lifelong physical, psychological, and socioeconomic harm. hrw.org/news/2026/09/09/whit…

The law of unintended consequences now endangering our reporting from countries like Iran
British foreign correspondents could be at risk of prosecution if they use sources within state-backed groups in countries such as Iran under national security legislation being rushed through parliament this week.
David Anderson, a former UK independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has warned that unless the bill is amended it could accidentally pull journalists working in danger-zone countries into prosecutions for terrorism.

VIDEO | "I received direct threats targeting me on my phone from the Mossad, from the Israelis, and they threatened to kill me. They were literally saying they would sever my head from my shoulders if I didn’t leave south Lebanon."
In an interview recorded before her targeted killing, Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil, from the southern village of Baysariyyeh, reflects on the threats she received while covering Israeli aggression in south Lebanon for Al-Akhbar.
"Before 23 September, I definitely didn’t take precautions and I didn’t pay attention to these threats, because I said if I’m going to do what they want, why would I let the Israeli enemy impose its own narrative on me? It brings journalists onto my land and promotes the narrative it wants, while preventing me from moving freely on my own land."
Amal Khalil, along with her colleague Zeinab Faraj, was deliberately attacked and subsequently killed by Israel yesterday in the southern Lebanese village of Tayri. Zeinab Faraj was severely injured and, as per latest reports, remains in stable condition after undergoing emergency surgery.

هكذا هي الصورة… توثق للقادم سراً… تجمعهم دون أن يدروا أن القدر سيجمعهم… آمال، فاطمة، وعلي… وحمى الله بلال…
رسل الحافة، آه على الرسل، يذهبون إلى الحتف ويعودون، ويعيدون الكرّة، مثنى وثلاث ورباع، يوثقون صوراً حدو الموت، ويعودون محملين بالأخبار…
ليسوا انتحاريين قط. هؤلاء تحديدا، يعرفون قيمة الحياة، لكنهم نذروا حياتهم لكتابة مسودة التاريخ الأولى…

Civil Defence crews were finally able to access the site where Leb journalist Amal Khalil was trapped under rubble but only hours later. They retrieved her body. Her newspaper Al Akbar has put out a video tribute. Lebanon’s Minister of Information condemned the incident describing the targeting of journalists as a blatant violation of international humanitarian law and calling for international action.
