Israeli army says 'very sorry' for journalist's death in Lebanon
The Israeli army said Saturday it was "very sorry" for the death of a Reuters journalist killed when Israel fired a missile, reportedly from an Apache helicopter, at a group of journalists who were covering the events on the Lebanese border.
"We are very sorry for the journalist's death," military spokesman Richard Hecht told reporters when asked about the killing of Reuters videographer Issam Abdallah on Friday.
The Israeli military did not acknowledge responsibility, however. "We are looking into it," Hecht said of the incident in which six other journalists were also injured.
