Reuters confirmed the death as well as injuries to its journalists Thaer Al-Sudani and Maher Nazeh, who are now receiving medical care.
“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,” the news agency said in a short statement.

While YouTube continues to take steps to ensure consumers, brands, and concerned citizens that the children's section of its video platform is, well, kid-friendly, SuperAwesome continues to make kid-safety its top priority. The latest initiative launched by the so-called "kidtech" company is an in-house video player, which is completely family-friendly and embeddable across the web.
According to TechCrunch, SuperAwesome launched its video player in response to requests from its brand partners. As a result, the player is not yet available to the general public. “The demand for [the video player] has come directly from our customers and the player has been in beta testing for a while,” SuperAwesome CEO Dylan Collins told TechCrunch.
Among other features, the player does not collect data from its young viewers, and the publishers who employ it can manage the videos they post through SuperAwesome's Popjam app.

YouTube recently cracked down on inappropriate content aimed at children, and if the video site's recent announcements are any indication, its policing of family-friendly content is only going to get stricter. With that environment looming, SuperAwesome wants to make sure videomakers are properly educated on the best practices for creating ad-friendly content. In order to achieve that goal, and to connect brands to appropriate adverting partners, the so-called "kidtech" company that helps to enable "safe, digital engagement with the global under-13 audience" between brands and content owners has launched SafeFam, a new certification program.
SafeFam participants are educated on what it means to be kid-safe and brand-safe while also learning about the consequences they could face if they do not adhere to those principles. Parents of underage creators can use SafeFam to better understand how to manage their child's hobby. In return, SuperAwesome will review and certify family-friendly channels, leading...
