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.

The group of journalists, including from Al Jazeera and Agence France-Presse, were working near Alma al-Shaab, close to the Israel border, where the Israeli military and Lebanese militia Hezbollah have been trading fire in border clashes.

Reuters said in a statement that Issam Abdallah had been killed while providing a live video signal for broadcasters. The camera was pointed at a hillside when a loud explosion shook the camera, filling the air with smoke, and screams were heard.

"We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed," Reuters said.

Being a war correspondent is a dangerous occupation. None sign up without knowing the risks.

Apparently a number of ‘journalists’ are on the very front line there. I wonder what their real jobs are.

Embedding yourself with the barbarians who usually end up getting bombed by warplanes or artillery is an incredibly stupid and arrogant decision.

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.

The siege mentality didn't go far enough. Blockade water, food, electricity, and other goods.

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.

“Reuters videographer who was at the scene.”

Why was he at the enemy site? Their friend?
