Reuters' Cameraman Killed in Gaza, Apparently By Israelis

quote:
Two youths passing by died in the same explosion that killed Shana, witnesses said. The cameraman had stepped from his car to film an Israeli tank dug in several hundred meters (yards) away.

Video from Shana's camera showed the tank opening fire. Two seconds after the shot raises dust around its gun, the tape goes blank -- seemingly at the moment Shana was hit.

Reuters soundman Wafa Abu Mizyed, 25, sustained a shrapnel wound and was being treated in a Gaza hospital.

On Wednesday, a Palestinian cameraman working for Reuters was killed in the Gaza Strip when he was hit by a Flechette shell fired from an Israel Defense Forces tank, prompting the human rights group B'Tselem to reiterate their demand to discontinue the use of this fatal type of munition.

Fadel Shana, 23, was working for the news agency Reuters filming Israeli tanks when he was killed. Two other Palestinian civilians were also killed in the same incident

You can be sure that they would use a stronger word than "unrest" in their headline - "Day of Gaza unrest leaves 22 dead" - if the dead were good subjects of the Queen on British soil.
Assassins, bloody assassins... and our government is supporting them, with hardly a peep from the majority Opposition.
