France says 'light must be shed' on Oct 13 strike on journalists in Lebanon
France on Tuesday said "all light" must be shed on the strike in southern Lebanon on October 13 that killed a Reuters journalist and injured six others, including two from AFP.
"All light must be shed on this tragedy," a French foreign ministry statement said, adding that international humanitarian law obliged warring parties to "protect civilians, and in particular journalists, who must be able to exercise their profession freely and in complete safety."
An investigation by Agence France-Presse published on December 7 into the strike pointed to a tank shell only used by the Israeli army in the high-tension border region.
