UN report says Israeli tank strike killed 'clearly identifiable' Reuters reporter: Report

A UN investigation has concluded that an Israeli tank killed Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah in Lebanon last October, after it fired at a group of "clearly identifiable journalists" in violation of international law, according to a report by Reuters.

The investigation by the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (Unifil) said that the tank fired two 120 mm rounds at the reporters, and said its personnel did not record any exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon for more than 40 minutes before the Israeli tank fired at the journalists.

"The firing at civilians, in this instance clearly identifiable journalists, constitutes a violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006) and international law," the Unifil report said.
