The Israeli army said Saturday it was investigating an incident in southern Lebanon in which a Reuters journalist was killed. A Reuters witness at the scene has said he was struck by missiles fired from the direction of Israel.
"We are aware of the incident with the Reuters journalist," army spokesman Lt Col Richard Hecht told a regular briefing. "We are looking into it. We already have visuals. We're doing cross examination. It's a tragic thing," he said.
Lebanon said Saturday said it would submit a formal complaint to the UN Security Council on "Israel's deliberate killing" of Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah, a Lebanese national, state media reported.

I certainly had my hopes up!
We're on a Roll!
Investigation should conclude with: “We need to use bigger explosives!”
Reuters video journalist Issam Abdallah....
Non-biased journalist, I’m sure....Uh-huh...
That’s why War Correspondants wear helmets.
Do they think they are immune because they work for the press?
I’m thinking hezbollah told those press folks about an emininent attack on that Isreali fortification they were zooming their cameras on.
IDF said “hold my beer” and made the press the story instead.
Hezobollah & Hamas use the press so they are not considered to be off limits by either side.
War correspondence is risky business.
NO QUARTER IDF. SMITE THESE BARBARIC DEMONS!!!
It’s a war. A lot of bad things happen in war.
Didn’t anyone tell him wars are dangerous?

Actually, Yes.
Isn’t Reuters part of the fake news cabal?
It was probably a Hamas booby-trapped IED, and not an Israeli mortor or missile. Reuters makes fake accusations all the time.
A reporter was killed. in a war zone.
Civilians were killed in a war zone.
What makes a reporter more precious than a civilian? Are they gods or something?
Pretty sure THEY think so.
I thought they spend their time in the Sewer, Roto is their nickname.
Good point, a likely possibility.
There is a very graphic picture of him on Twitter. I don’t think he’s going to make it.
Oh, well.
Yes, and Hamas as well.
The only “attention” ANY country need do when some journalist bites it covering an action is to say “Our condolences” and let it go at that. They aren’t heroes or anything of the sort, and they were the ones who chose to be there.
Fake journalists are probably allowing themselves to be used as fake shields
