The spokesperson emphasized that if such killings occur, the responsible party must openly justify the necessity behind the action\u2014something Israel has yet to do, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.az\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News.Az<\/a> reports, citing <a href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TASS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"916\">The representative questioned Israel\u2019s claim that the strike targeted a single individual, pointing out that five journalists were killed in total.
