JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israel’s military is still looking into the killing of a Reuters journalist in Lebanon near the border with Israel, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.
“The Reuters event, we’re still looking into it. I’m looking at the footage and we’ll come out with an answer when we’re ready. A tragic event,” Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hecht told a regular press briefing.
Issam Abdallah, a Reuters visual journalist, was killed on Friday when rocket fire hit a group of reporters who had been covering cross-border clashes between Israel and Lebanese Hezbollah fighters. Several other journalists were wounded.
