In a damning report, the United Nations investigates the October 13 Israeli attack on journalists in southern Lebanon, resulting in the death of Reuters reporter Issam Abdallah and injuring six others, including AFP photographer Christina Assi, who later had her leg amputated. UNIFIL found the attack targeted civilians, violating international law and UNSCR 1701. Surprisingly, there was no exchange of fire at the time. The motive behind the strikes remains unknown. This incident adds to the toll of 133 journalists killed since Israel's recent offensive on Gaza, claiming over 31,300 lives, predominantly women, children, and adolescents.
