Gaza, ucciso cameraman Reuters
Salgono a nove le vittime del raid aereo israeliano
(ANSA) - TEL AVIV, 16 APR - Un cameraman palestinese della Reuters e' 
stato ucciso nella Striscia di Gaza: lo ha constatato un giornalista 
dell'Ansa sul posto. Il cameraman Fadil Shana e' stato colpito da due 
razzi mentre si trovava a bordo di un fuoristrada dell'agenzia 
britannica, sulla quale sono ben visibili le insegne della stampa. 
L'operatore aveva appena finito di riprendere alcune immagini nel campo 
profughi di El Bureij, dove un raid israeliano ha provocato oggi almeno 
9 morti e 17 feriti.

vista la campagna lanciata dalla Faith e dai suoi scoppiati viene il
dubbio che l'obiettivo fosse il giornalista dell'Ansa e non quel
poveretto che c'è rimasto secco

Senza "t".

 poveretto che c'č rimasto secco
Mah, nel 2006 fu ferito da un missile lanciato sulla sua auto da un 
aereo israeliano. Non so.

Reuters cameraman killed in Gaza

GAZA (Reuters) - A Reuters cameraman was killed in the Gaza Strip on 
Wednesday in what appeared to be an Israeli military strike.
Fadel Shana, a 23-year-old Palestinian, was covering violence in the 
enclave for the international news agency. At least two bystanders were 
also killed in an explosion after Shana stepped from his vehicle, 
apparently to film Israeli forces positioned several hundred meters 
(yards) away.
His soundman, Wafa Abu Mizyed, also in his 20s, sustained a shrapnel 
wound and was being treated in a Gaza hospital.
Film from Shana's camera showed an Israeli tank stationed several 
hundred meters away opening fire. Some two seconds after the shot raises 
dust around the main gun barrel, the film goes blank -- apparently at 
the moment Shana was hit.
Earlier, local residents had said the explosion appeared to have been 
caused by an air strike.
The Reuters vehicle, an unarmored sport utility vehicle bearing "TV" and 
"Press" markings, had just stopped and Shana got out to film, local 
residents said.
The blast left the car shattered and ablaze. Shana's body amour had been 
partially torn from his body. Abu Mizyed had no immediate recollection 
of the incident.
An Israeli military spokeswoman said she had no information on a strike 
on a vehicle in the area of central Gaza where the incident took place 
in late afternoon.
A military official said: "We wish to express sorrow for the death of 
the Palestinian cameraman... It should be emphasized that the area in 
which the cameraman was hurt is an area in which ongoing fighting 
against armed, extreme and dangerous terrorist organizations occurs on a 
daily basis."
"The presence of media, photographers and other uninvolved individuals 
in areas of warfare is extremely dangerous and poses a threat to their 
lives."
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's spokesman said: "In our operations 
we try to be as surgical as possible and make every effort not to see 
innocent people caught up in the fighting."
CALL FOR INVESTIGATION
Reuters Editor-in-Chief David Schlesinger called for an investigation: 
"This tragic incident shows the risks journalists take every day to 
report the news. All governments and organizations have a responsibility 
to take the utmost care to protect professionals trying to do their 
jobs," he said.
"Our thoughts are with his family. We request an immediate investigation 
into the incident by the Israeli defense forces."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, who was visiting Moscow, telephoned 
Reuters in Gaza to express his condolences.
Shana, who had worked for Reuters in Gaza for more than three years, was 
wounded in 2006 when an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a Reuters 
vehicle. That car also carried markings showing it was operated by the 
media organization.
Shana, who was unmarried, was a gentle and popular figure among the 
15-strong Reuters news team in the Gaza Strip. The bureau was honored by 
Britain's Royal Television Society for its coverage of last year's 
factional fighting in Gaza.
Hundreds of journalists and well-wishers flocked to the hospital where 
Shana's body was taken. The family planned to hold a funeral on Thursday.
Journalists have become casualties on numerous occasions in the 
Palestinian territories. Media watchdogs estimate that nine have been 
killed in the West Bank and Gaza Strip since 2000.
An Israeli soldier shot a Reuters photographer in the leg in Gaza in 
October. Two Reuters journalists were wounded by an Israeli tank shell 
in the enclave in 2003.
Also in 2003, one of the most widely renowned Palestinian journalists to 
work for Reuters, television cameraman Mazen Dana, was shot dead by a 
U.S. soldier in Baghdad. Six other Reuters journalists have been killed 
in that conflict.
