Lebanese journalist injured in Israeli strike carries Olympic torch through Paris

Lebanese photojournalist Christina Assi, who was severely injured during an Israeli strike on the border with Lebanon, carried the Olympic torch on Sunday to honour all journalists wounded and killed in the field.

Last October, Israeli forces shelled the Lebanese border, injuring Assi while she was reporting on the escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah. The attack left Assi wheelchair-bound after part of her left leg was amputated. 

The same Israeli attack that injured Assi also killed Reuters photojournalist Issam Abdallah.
