Transcript:

The evidence we now have, and that we published today, is that an Israeli tank crew killed our colleague Issam Abdallah. We condemn Issam's killing, and we call on Israel to explain how this could have happened, and to hold to account those responsible for his death and the wounding of our colleagues Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh.

Issam was a brilliant and passionate journalist, who was much loved in this newsroom.

At Reuters, we report the news of the world with accuracy, integrity, independence and freedom from bias. It is critically important that our journalists are able to do so safely.
