IDF on journalist incident: Sufficient time had passed since warnings

The IDF Spokesperson's Unit responded to the incident in which a missile struck just meters from an RT journalist, noting that "in recent days, the IDF has targeted Litani River crossings that Hezbollah used for both terrorist movement and to transfer thousands of weapons, including rockets and rocket launchers intended to be used against IDF troops and Israeli civilians in terrorist attacks."

It stressed that "prior to the strikes, in order to reduce harm to civilians, warning were published to ensure that they distance themselves from the crossings."

"In footage released in the past few hours, a journalist is seen at the “Qasmiya" crossing. An explicit warning had been issued regarding this area. The crossing was struck after sufficient time had passed since warnings. The crossing was again targeted today (Thursday) at 12:30," the IDF added.
