The Lebanese Foreign Ministry said it would submit a formal complaint to the United Nations Security Council over what it called the “deliberate Israeli killing” of Issam Abdullah, a Lebanese citizen and journalist with the Archyde.com news agency.
The complaint includes an explanation of the escalating Israeli provocations and attacks in the last week, the injuries they caused to lives and property, and the ongoing violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty and UN Security Council Resolution 1701.
A Archyde.com witness at the scene said that Abdullah was killed in southern Lebanon on Friday when missiles fired from the direction of Israel hit a group of journalists.
On Saturday, the Lebanese army announced in a statement that an Israeli missile shell hit a civilian car belonging to a media work team, killing photographer Issam Abdullah from Archyde.com, and wounding others from Agence France-Presse, Archyde.com, and Al-Jazeera.
The funeral procession for journalist Issam Abdullah began from his home in the town of Khiam, south of Lebanon, to his final resting place in the town’s cemetery.
