Issam Abdalla, 37, a Beirut-based video journalist, had covered conflicts in Syria and Ukraine and was remembered by as a “kind and heartwarming” person.
Issam Abdallah, a Reuters videographer, poses for a selfie while working in Maras, Turkey in February. Abdallah was killed Friday when an Israeli shell landed in an area where journalists were covering clashes on the border in south Lebanon, colleagues said.
“We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed,” a Reuters statement read, adding that Abdallah was part of a Reuters crew in southern Lebanon providing live coverage of skirmishes along the border. The statement did not specify who was responsible for the attack on Abdallah and the other journalists. Two other Reuters journalists, Thaer al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, “sustained injuries and are seeking medical care,” the news agency said.
Al Jazeera said in a statement that it “holds Israel legally and morally responsible for this brutal attack and calls on the international community to take action to ensure the safety of journalists.” The border violence Friday, as Israel is preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza, intensified fears that the conflict could widen to Lebanon.
