Israel said it has notified the families of 120 hostages taken captive by Hamas during its cross-border attack.
Issam Abdallah, a journalist with the Reuters news agency, was killed Friday while covering fighting in southern Lebanon, the agency said in a statement. At least six other journalists were injured, including two from the Al Jazeera news channel, when the journalists were struck by what Al Jazeera said was Israeli shelling.
Two other Reuters journalists, Thaer al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, “sustained injuries and are seeking medical care,” the agency said. Al Jazeera said the journalists had all gathered in one area for safety in Alma el-Chaab, a village in southern Lebanon. All the journalists were wearing blue bullet-resistant vests marked with the word “Press,” the channel said. Two of its journalists — Elie Brakhya, a cameraman, and Carmen Joukhadar, a correspondent — were injured, Al Jazeera reported.
