CNN —Reuters editor-in-chief Alessandra Galloni called for an investigation into the death of Issam Abdallah, the Reuters video journalist who was killed Friday when he was struck by a shell that originated in Israel while filming cross-border fire between Israel and Lebanon.
“I urge all parties in this conflict to respect and work with all media to ensure the safety of journalists reporting in the region,” Galloni said.
“Reporting on world events with accuracy, integrity, independence and freedom from bias is core to what we stand for at Reuters.
Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, the two other Reuters journalists wounded in the incident, have been released from a hospital, Reuters reported.
Prior to the Friday incident, at least 10 journalists had been killed since the onset of the war, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
