Israeli strikes in Lebanon killed five people on Wednesday, including a journalist, a week into a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
The strike on a house in southern Lebanon, near the town of al-Tayri, killed journalist Amal Khalil, who had taken cover there while on assignment.
Rescue workers pulled photographer Zeinab Faraj, who was accompanying Khalil, from the scene with a head wound, but recovered Khalil's body from the rubble hours later.
Lebanon's Prime Minister Nawaf Salam condemned the targeting of journalists and the obstruction of relief efforts as "war crimes".
Israel denied the claims. It said that people in the village had violated the ceasefire first.

Khalil, 43, had been covering the region since 2006 for the al-Akhbar daily newspaper. Her most recent reporting was about Israeli demolition of Lebanese homes in villages where Israeli troops are positioned inside Lebanon.
Her death comes on the eve of the second round of direct talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials in Washington on extending the ceasefire.
Nine journalists have been killed in Lebanon so far this year, and at least 2,300 people have been killed in Israeli strikes and more than 1 million displaced since the latest war began on 2 March.
