French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot condemned the killing of three journalists in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon on Saturday, stressing that journalists should "never" be targeted in conflict zones.
"If it is proven that the journalists in question were deliberately targeted by the Israeli army, this would be extremely serious and constituting a flagrant violation of international law," Barrot told "France 3" Channel.
"Journalists should never be targeted in war zones, including when they have links with parties to the conflict," he underlined.
