A vice president of CBS News, Ernest Leiser, met today with senior Israeli officials and said he received a detailed explanation of how two CBS cameramen were killed by an Israeli tank shell in Lebanon last week. Mr. Leiser met for two hours at the Prime Minister's office with Uri Savir, the spokesman for Prime Minister Shimon Peres, and Lieut. Col. Raanan Gissin, from the Israel Defense Force spokesman's office. Mr. Leiser said in an interview after the meeting that ''if the Israel Defense Force account is to be believed, the shooting could have been a tragic mistake.'' He added: ''The Israeli tank crew could have been far enough away so that they could not have identified the cameramen. However, the Israeli account does not jibe with what we were told, and are continuing to hear, from witnesses in Lebanon, who said that the Israeli tank commander could easily see that the CBS car was a press car, with a press crew, and that no shooting was coming from around them.''

A federally financed foundation has given $100,000 to La Prensa, the opposition newspaper in Nicaragua that is heavily censored by the Sandinista Government. La Prensa's troubles have been an important part of the evidence used to support the Reagan Administration's assertion that Nicaragua has a Communist Government.

During 10 years of civil war, lawlessness, the Israeli invasion and anarchic danger, Western foreign correspondents based in Beirut have daily swallowed their fear to report on the situation in Lebanon. Two incidents in the last week have highlighted the risks for journalists, raising questions in many news organizations about how they can continue to report on events in the country adequately. The first was the abduction of The Associated Press bureau chief in Beirut, Terry A. Anderson, who was pulled from his car by gunmen as he dropped off a colleague after an early-morning tennis match. Islamic Holy War, the shadowy fundamentalist Moslem group that has claimed to have twice blown up the American Embassy and the bases of American and French peacekeeping troops, took responsibility for the kidnapping.

Sometimes you have to wonder if the Great Communicator is aware of all that he communicates. For example, here is a one- liner from Mr. Reagan's remarks at the Gridiron Club's dinner in Washington last Saturday: ''I think we should keep the grain and export the farmers.'' (I did not attend the Gridiron dinner, and do not feel bound by its tradition that ''reporters are never present.'' I heard of this ''joke'' from someone who was there, and it was later reported in The Washington Post.)

Soviet electronic bugs secretly planted in typewriters at the United States Embassy in Moscow may have seriously compromised highly classified information being handled by diplomats at the embassy, CBS News reported tonight. ''For at least one year and probably longer, the American Embassy in Moscow was the victim of a sophisticated electronic spy operation which gave Soviet leaders an inside look at what U.S. diplomats were doing and planning,'' CBS said.

The Commissioner of the city's Human Resources Administration yesterday appointed six people to top management jobs on his staff as part of a reorganization of the troubled agency. Most of the appointments by the Commissioner, George Gross, were recommended last November by the Beattie Commission, a mayoral panel that among other things, proposed consolidating the programs of the vast agency into three main groups: family and children's services, adult services and welfare programs. Mr. Gross said at the time that he agreed with the recommendations. and he has been working on them since then. At a news conference at the agency headquarters at 250 Church Street, Mr. Gross named Robert Sermier, now his executive assistant, to be his first deputy administrator, a $78,000-a-year job.

Canada may consider getting involved in President Reagan's research on a space-based missile defense system if it generates more employment, according to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. He spoke during a news conference Saturday in Winnepeg, which has felt the effect of the recession. ''I suppose, if somebody came forward and said, would we be interested in bidding for a part of a contract which would create, say, 10,000 jobs in Winnepeg-Fort Garry, I think we would have to take a look at it,'' Mr. Mulroney said, referring to the election district in which Winnipeg is situated.
