Targeted By Israel: How Lebanese Journalist Christina Assi Is Rebuilding Her Life
Assi spoke to Almost at the International Journalism Festival in Italy about what justice really means, and how she’s learning to live, work and hope again.
On Oct. 15, 2023, Christina Assi, a Lebanese photojournalist with AFP, was with six other journalists covering clashes at the border of Lebanon and Israel, when Israeli forces deliberately fired two missiles at them.
The attack killed her friend, Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah, and Assi had to have her leg amputated.
More than a year later, after the UN confirmed Israel violated international law, Assi spoke to Almost at the International Journalism Festival in Italy about what justice really means, and how she’s learning to live, work and hope again.
