Karam Qabisho

The cameraman working for pro-regime TV network Sama was killed while covering clashes on the edge of the northwestern province of Idlib, the French news agency, AFP, quoted Syrian state news agency SANA as reporting.

SANA accused rebels, dominated by Fateh al-Sham, a former Al-Qaeda affiliate, of targeting the Sama satellite crew near the village of Umm Haratain. The channel's Facebook page confirmed Karam Qabisho had died, but it gave no further details on the circumstances of his death.
