The Minister of Information in the caretaker government, Ziad Makary, stated via the "X" platform: "The Lebanese mission to the United Nations has sent two letters to the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Turk, and the Special Rapporteur on the Right to Freedom of Opinion and Expression, Iran Khan, regarding the martyrdom of photojournalist Issam Al-Abdallah and the injury of other journalists." He added: "The mission emphasized that Israel's targeting of journalistic teams was intentional and devoid of any military justification, calling for accountability for the perpetrators."
