Reuters cameraman Essam Abdullah has been killed in Lebanon on the border with Israel after a bombing in the south of the country in response to Hezbollah attacks.
"We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed," it said in a statement.
Issam was part of a Reuters team in southern Lebanon, from where live 24-hour camera footage was being broadcast.
"We are urgently seeking more information, working with authorities in the region and supporting Issam's family and colleagues," Reuters said.
Two other journalists Carmen Jokhdar and Ellie Brakhaya from Al Jazeera are reported to have been injured. One of them is heard saying in the video "What happened? I can't feel my legs."
