An investigation by Agence France-Presse into the strike in southern Lebanon on Oct. 13 that killed a Reuters journalist and injured six others, including two from AFP, points to a tank shell only used by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) in this high-tension border region.

Jointly conducted with Airwars, an NGO that investigates attacks on civilians in conflict situations, the investigation found that the attack involved a 120-mm tank shell only used by the IOF in this region, the AFP wrote.

It found that the strikes likely came from the southeast near the Israeli Occupation village of 'Jordeikh' where IOF tanks were operating, the article added.

The nature of the strikes and lack of military activity near the journalists indicate the attack was 'deliberate and targeted.'

The investigation was based on evidence gathered from expert analysis of a munitions fragment, satellite images, witness testimonies and video recordings filmed before and during the attack.
