A Reuters videographer was killed and several other journalists were wounded Friday on assignment to cover the war between Hamas and Israel in southern Lebanon, his employer said.
Issam Abdallah had been filming live footage near Alma Al-Shaab at the time of his death, Reuters said in a statement.
“We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed,” the company said in a statement.
“We are urgently seeking more information, working with authorities in the region, and supporting Issam’s family and colleagues.”
Reuters journalists Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh were also injured, the wire service said.
Reuters’ live feed was taken offline around 5:30 p.m. local time when the journalists behind the footage were apparently struck, the Daily Beast noted.
