On Thursday, the Reuters news agency published an investigation that concluded a strike by an Israeli tank crew had killed one of its video journalists, Issam Abdallah, in South Lebanon on Oct. 13. The strike severely injured an Agence France-Presse photographer, Christina Assi, and wounded five other journalists.
“Issam was not in an active combat zone when he was struck,” Reuters said in a statement. “He and his colleagues were alongside journalists from other news outlets, in an area far from active conflict.”
Human Rights Watch, which did its own investigation, and Amnesty International both called the attack a war crime.
The Israeli military says it does not target civilians. In the case of the tank strike that killed Mr. Abdallah and injured the others, it has argued they were in a conflict area, despite there being no evidence of combatants or fighting around the journalists at the time.
The Netanyahu gov is a horrible right wing gov. The people of Israel deserve better than this and many don't approve of him anyways. He is conducting this war against Hamas in a very inhumane way, as the UN keeps pointing out. 17000 dead, many of those kids. When even the US says you are not doing enough to support civilians, you are really doing this in a bad way. He is against two-state, against ending the settlements and many other things.
