Reuters Journalist Killed on Lebanon Border: Israel Claims Combat Zone

The Israeli military claims that the Reuters journalist who was killed by tank fire on the Lebanon border was in an active combat zone, while investigations by the news service and others suggest that he was working with other marked press in a border area. The military statement states that Israeli forces opened fire to prevent a suspected armed infiltration into Israeli territory after Lebanese Hezbollah fighters attacked from that area. The incident is still under review, and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the importance of a thorough investigation and the disclosure of its results.
