“We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed,” a Reuters spokesperson said.
A Reuters cameraman was killed and two reporters injured on Friday while manning a live feed of the Israel-Lebanon border, a spokesperson for the news agency told The Daily Beast in a statement.
The spokesperson said Reuters journalists Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh “also sustained injuries and are seeking medical care.” Al Jazeera journalist Ali Hashem said on air that the Reuters and Al Jazeera crews were part of a convoy of reporters traveling in the border area on Friday. At one point they separated, with the Reuters crew going to an area overlooking the scene and the Al Jazeera crew going to a village, he said.
He said all the reporters were clearly wearing jackets and helmets identifying them as members of the press.
