Reuters cameraman killed in Gaza
By Nidal al-Mughrabi
GAZA (Reuters) – A Reuters cameraman was killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in what appeared to be an Israeli military strike.
Fadel Shana, 23, was covering events in the enclave for the international news agency on a day of intense violence when 16 other Palestinians and three Israeli soldiers were also killed.
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.

David, Amercan activist Rachael Corrie who was baldozed in israel in 2003 was not poiting weapons at the israeli soldier, she was protecting a family’s house, is that a war zone to you?? hundreds of reporters killed before, on purpose, were doing their job, which Israelis dont seem to like… Remember Lebanon, Qana, the UN shelter bombed by Israeli aircraft in 1996?!!! IT HOUSED WOMEN AND CHILDREN WHO HAD FLED THE ISRALEI FIRES!!!! More than 100 of their bodies were ripped into pieces!!!!! What guilt have they committed?? For land they kill, for oil they kill, for elections and political gains they kill, and innocents pay.. IT IS THAT SIMPLE!!! May God have mercy on Fadal’s soul and on the soul’s of all the innocent palestinians, and all the innocents butchered by the ISRAELI tyrany!
