Investigations by multiple news organizations and human rights groups have concluded that Reuters journalist, Issam Abdallah, was killed by an Israeli tank shell in Lebanon. The incident, which took place in October, also resulted in injuries to six other journalists.
The investigations were based on forensic analysis, witness testimonies, and interviews. The findings suggest that the journalists were clearly identified as press and were away from any military activity when they were targeted. The weapon used in the attack was identified as a 120mm shell, typically used by the Israeli military on its Merkava tanks.
The death of Abdallah has sparked international outcry, with Al Jazeera accusing Israel's military of deliberately targeting journalists to silence the media. The US Secretary of State has also called for an investigation into Abdallah's death.
The incident has raised the death toll of journalists and media workers in the ongoing conflict to at least 63. Among the injured was a photographer for Agence France-Presse. Evidence of Israeli tank round shrapnel was found in a vehicle and body armor at the scene.
In response to the findings, Reuters has demanded an explanation from Israel for the attack. As of now, the Israeli military has not issued a statement on the incident.
