An Israeli shell landed in a gathering of journalists covering clashes on the border in south Lebanon, killing a Reuters videographer and leaving six other journalists injured.

Issam Abdallah was killed on Friday while working in southern Lebanon, as part of a Reuters crew providing a live video signal.

An Associated Press photographer at the scene saw the body of the videographer and the six who were wounded, some of whom were rushed to hospitals in ambulances. Images from the scene showed a charred car.

“We are deeply saddened to tell you that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed,” the Reuters news agency said in a statement.

Reuters said that two of its journalists, Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, were wounded in the shelling in the border area.
