Jul. 5 - A Palestinian camerman is hit by a volley of bullets while filming clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian militants in Gaza.
The cameraman, Imad Ghanem was filming for Hamas’s al-Aqsa television channel when he was fired upon.
In video filmed by a colleague he can be seen lying on the ground with his camera by his side.
Eyewitnesses said moments before he’d been with a group which included militant gunmen, though he appeared to be unarmed. Ghanem was later treated in hospital where both of his legs were amputated.
An Israeli army spokeswoman said journalists were at risk if they entered a combat zone but soldiers did not deliberately target them.

Al-Jazeera ran some footage from a slightly different angle. There is a statement from Reporters Without Borders about this incident as well. You can see both at American Hummus.
Obviously all they saw was an Arab.
Shoot the SOB.
You have to remember that the Zionists is the superior race.
That is why they have stolen most of the Palestinian’s land.
The Palestinians are an inferior people.
They are subserviant to the Zionist.
These excuses are the reason the US supports Israel.
Lies and more lies is the only reason why Israel keeps stealing land.
Lies and more lies is why the Palestinians are treated as a lower class of people.
What ever happened to the US view of all people being equal?
I keep wondering how many times incidents such as this will keep happening?
Shooting at an unarmed camera man is a shocking and evil crime to make, people are not puppets, as some soldiers might think.
Disgusting.
Asad al nimr,
Ramallah.
