Human Rights Watch said Monday that an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon that killed three journalists last month was carried out with a U.S. bomb-guidance kit in what was “most likely a deliberate attack on civilians and an apparent war crime.”
In a report, the organization said that based on interviews with survivors and visual evidence of the attack, Israel used “an air-dropped bomb equipped with a United States-produced” Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kit in its Oct. 25 strike against a residence where journalists were staying in the southern town of Hasbaya. The JDAM is a piece of equipment that turns unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions.
