NNA – In an interview with Reuters, Fatima Kanso, the mother of the martyr videographer Issam Abdallah, who was martyred in Aalma El Chaeb on Friday, blamed Israel for her son#39;s death.
She said, quot;Israel deliberately killed my son. They were all wearing journalist attire, and the word #39;press#39; was clearly visible. Israel cannot deny this crime.quot;
The Israeli army did not immediately respond to Reuters#39; request for comment on Kanso#39;s statements.
Gilad Erdan, Israel#39;s UN envoy, told reporters at a press conference, quot;We always try to minimize and avoid civilian casualties,quot; according to Reuters.
quot;We are sorry for them. We will investigate the matter, but it is too early to know what happened there.quot;
In turn, the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon expressed sadness over the news and called for a ceasefire.
In a statement, it said, quot;The possibility of this escalation spiraling out of control is evident and must be stopped.quot;nbsp;
