Timeline
Issam Abdallah (عصام عبد الله; 1986 – 13 October 2023) was a Lebanese video journalist working for Reuters who was killed by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) tank-fire in southern Lebanon on 13 October 2023, while reporting in the context of the Israel–Hamas war.
Abdallah began providing Reuters with footage in 2007, working as a freelancer while completing his university studies.
Abdallah carried a video camera and a camera for still photographs wherever he went.
He first provided footage of intra-Lebanese conflicts.
Abdallah reported from the Syrian civil war, Russo-Ukrainian War, and other conflicts.
Abdallah was nominated as Reuters Video Journalist of the Year in 2020 for coverage of the Beirut port blast.
He had provided the world press with one of the first and strongest images of the disaster.
Abdallah was part of a larger team that won an award in 2022 for their coverage of the Russo-Ukrainian War.
Abdallah and other journalists covered the strikes of Hezbollah and IDF in Southern Lebanon close to Aalma ech Chaab.
A tank-fire hit the group and Abdallah was killed.
Six other journalists from news agencies, including Reuters, photographer Christina Assi, and video journalist Dylan Collins from Agence France-Presse (AFP), as well as a journalist from the broadcaster Al Jazeera, were injured, some seriously.
Lebanon's army has said the IDF fired the missile that killed Abdallah.
Another Reuters reporter at the scene said Abdallah was killed by projectiles fired from the direction of Israel.
His last post on Instagram, posted a week before he was killed, was a photograph of Shireen Abu Akleh, a Palestinian journalist for Al Jazeera who had been killed by Israel in 2022.
Abdallah was buried on 14 October 2023 in his hometown of Khiam in southern Lebanon next to his father, who had died a year prior.
Journalists placed their cameras on the grave to honour his memory.
Speaking about Abdallah's death, Israeli military spokesperson Richard Hecht said, "we're very sorry", but did not confirm that Israeli shells had hit the journalists.
Michael Downey, a journalist who works for The New York Times and the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), commented on a video taken shortly before the incident: "No warning shot; that was intentional".
"The tank shell hit them directly", said Al Jazeera correspondent Ali Hashem from Alma al-Shaab, adding that the team of reporters had been clearly marked as press.
Lebanon lodged a formal complaint with the UN Security Council over Abdallah's killing on its territory.
According to state media.
It is assumed in Lebanon that this was an intentional killing.
Israel's representative to the United Nations stressed that Israel never wants to harm journalists, but in a war, "anything can happen."
Additionally, Agence France-Presse (AFP) called on Israeli and Lebanese authorities to "conduct a comprehensive investigation to determine the circumstances behind and responsibility for firing along their border that killed and wounded journalists on assignment..."
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) made a preliminary finding on 29 October that the deaths were the result of a "targeted" strike from the direction of the Israeli border, concluding that the "two strikes in the same place in such a short space of time (just over 30 seconds), from the same direction, clearly indicate precise targeting."
The investigation, which considered "eyewitness accounts, video footage and ballistics expertise", also concluded that it was "unlikely that the journalists were mistaken for combatants" given their situation out in the open, on top of a hill, wearing helmets and jackets marked with 'press'.
The RSF called on Israel to launch a probe over the events.
