WASHINGTON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Four U.S. lawmakers on Thursday said there has been no accountability for an October 2023 ​attack by the Israeli military that struck a group of journalists in ​Lebanon, killing a Reuters correspondent and wounding others.

U.S. Senator Peter Welch from Vermont, the home state of one of the journalists wounded in the ⁠attack, accused Israel of not conducting a serious investigation into the incident, saying he had seen no proof of that.

He did not specify what details he had requested from the Israeli government, or what, if anything, he had been given.

Reuters was unable to ​independently confirm what specific efforts Israel has made to investigate the attack, which it has pledged publicly ‍to review.

On October 13, 2023, an Israeli tank fired ​two shells in quick succession from Israel as journalists were filming cross-border shelling. The attack killed Reuters visuals journalist Issam Abdallah and severely wounded Agence France-Presse (AFP) photographer Christina Assi.
