This has now been confirmed from Reuters:
We are deeply saddened to learn that our videographer, Issam Abdallah, has been killed.
Issam was part of a Reuters crew in southern Lebanon who was providing a live signal.

@IDF
and every reason to believe they were simply suppressing the media and the truth.
After providing advance warning to civilians & time to evacuate, IDF fighter jets struck a multi-story building containing Hamas military intelligence assets.
The building contained civilian media offices, which Hamas hides behind and deliberately uses as human shields.
