UN Report: Israeli Tank Strike Killed 'Clearly Identifiable' Reporter in Lebanon

A UN investigation found that an Israeli tank killed Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah in Lebanon by firing two rounds at a group of "clearly identifiable journalists" in violation of international law. The incident occurred without any exchange of fire across the border, and the UN report has been shared with the Lebanese and Israeli militaries. The IDF spokesperson stated that Hezbollah had attacked them, and the IDF deplores any injury to uninvolved parties, including journalists. Reuters Editor-in-Chief called on Israel to explain the attack and hold those responsible to account, while the UN spokesperson emphasized the need to protect journalists and uphold international law.
