A Reuters video journalist was killed and six other journalists injured in southern Lebanon on Friday when missiles fired from the direction of Israel struck them, according to a Reuters videographer who was at the scene.

A direct hit on an enemy of Israel
This is a WAR. Get out.
Being a war correspondent is a dangerous occupation. None sign up without knowing the risks.
Too bad, so sad. Not.
They died doing what they loved
I suspect this guy was no Ernie Pyle.
Embedded with Hezbollah.
Apparently a number of ‘journalists’ are on the very front line there. I wonder what their real jobs are.
Hamas Public Relations.
sounds more like a collaborator than a journalist
These news orgs took video an photos of the IDF just over the border. Sounds like a prime target to me, and a vital one at that.
Glove off. About time.
On the bright side, he got some fantastic video of Hezbollah launching rockets at Israel moments before his death. Embedding with terrorists is a high risk business.

Israel should have blocked leftist media from Gaza. Level the place and destroy Hamas, find hostages if found. Only then allow the leftist media in. Then rinse and repeat action before they can get out.
A legitimate unbiased journalist embedded with Hezbollah would be executed by Hezbollah before he or she made one broadcast. Thus, there is not one unbiased embedded journalist in Hezbollah nor Hamas. All embeds are cleared for political alliance prior to saying one word on the conflict. Any embedded journalist in Gaza or with Hezbollah is part of the propaganda machine.
Now now Reuters you didn’t put the journalist in harms way?
More like a pile of embers.....
“Reuters videographer who was at the scene.”
Why was he at the enemy site? Their friend?
