“I hope that what we have done today pays tribute to all the journalists killed this year,” says AFP photographer Christina Assi after carrying the Olympic torch, accompanied by her colleague, AFP video journalist Dylan Collins in Vincennes. Assi, 29, was struck by a tank shell on October 13, 2023, while reporting on cross-border clashes between the Israeli army and armed groups in southern Lebanon. The shell, fired by an Israeli tank according to a thorough AFP investigation, killed Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah and injured the six other journalists present, including Christina, who has since had her right leg amputated. Collins was also injured that day. COMPLETES VID364N6KU_EN IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
