Strike of 13 October 2023 in Lebanon: AFP requests precise and substantiated answers from Israel’s Ambassador to France

Mr Ambassador,

 

I am writing further to your appearance on the French television programme Complément d’Enquête, broadcast on France 2 on Thursday 4 June, in which you stated on several occasions that the 13 October 2023 strike in southern Lebanon was “a mistake”. You said in particular that “it was a mistake, clearly”, adding that the journalists “were not targeted because they were journalists”, but because “the soldiers on the ground thought they were terrorists”. When asked directly whether this amounted to a “bavure”, you replied: “Yes, we say it very clearly.”
