Mourners carry the casket of Lebanese Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah, killed on October 13 by Israeli shelling at Alma al-Shaab border village with Israel while covering cross border shelling, during his funeral in the village of El-Khiam on October 14, 2023. AFPPIX: Lebanon said on Saturday that Israel was behind the cross-border fire that killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others near the border.
AFP’s chairman and chief executive officer Fabrice Fries called on the relevant authorities to carry out an “in-depth investigation”. Israel has massed forces and tanks along the northern border with Lebanon, a country with which it remains technically at war, and where the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah has a heavy presence.
“We were filming smoke billowing from Israeli artillery fire targeting a distant hill in front of us,” he said.The journalists were standing in an open area when they heard small arms fire from a different direction further west, along the border with Israel, Collins said from the hospital. Al Jazeera accused Israel of carrying out the strike, and Reuters said journalists were struck by “missiles fired from the direction of Israel,” citing one of its reporters at the scene.
