Israeli airstrike kills Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah in southern Lebanon, wounds 6 others.
At least one journalist was killed and six others injured on Friday in southern Lebanon when Israel fired artillery into the area they were gathered.
Not to worry. It's all okay now. Israel said it's "very very sorry"... and then hung up the phone.
They don't even say they're sorry. Israel is entirely unapologetic about committing genocide because it knows the west fully backs what Israel is doing.
I agree with you completely. If the U.S. were to stop "aid" (bombs, bullets, aircraft, missiles, etc etc etc) and condemn Israel for its actions ... of course Israel would immediately back down. And the problem with the governments of the world? (that they're being run by corporations rather than the people they're supposed to represent).
This is the best summary I could come up with:
At least one journalist was killed and six others injured on Friday in southern Lebanon when Israel fired artillery into the area they were gathered.
The incident — which impacted journalists from Reuters, the Agence France-Presse wire service and Al Jazeera — marks one of the worst press catastrophes yet to emerge from Israel’s war against Hamas.
The Israel Defense Forces acknowledged firing artillery into Lebanon, telling CNN that it was in response to an explosion near the security fence near a kibbutz.
Without naming Abdallah, IDF spokesman Lt. Col. Richard Hecht said his death was “a tragic thing,” which they are “very sorry for,” but did not admit it was an Israeli strike that took his life.
“We are deeply concerned that a group of journalists who were clearly identified have been killed and injured while doing their job,” Phil Chetwynd, the AFP’s global news director, said in a statement.
CNN’s Tamara Qiblawi, Sarah El Sirgany, AnneClaire Stapleton, and Gianluca Mezzofiore contributed reporting.
