"Lebanon Strike Deliberately Targeted Reuters Journalist, Watchdog Group Confirms"

An investigation by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has concluded that Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah and his colleagues were deliberately targeted in southern Lebanon in strikes launched from the Israeli border. The probe found that the journalists, who were wearing press-marked helmets and vests, were in plain view for over an hour before the strikes. RSF analyzed videos and testimonies that indicated an Israeli helicopter flew over the area before the strikes. The Israeli military expressed regret for Abdallah's death and promised to investigate. This incident adds to the accusations of Israeli forces targeting journalists and the need for accountability. Reuters is reviewing the findings and calling for a transparent investigation.
