Israel rejects blame for death of cameraman

A young Reuters cameraman in Gaza filmed an Israeli tank as it
fired the shell which killed him.
And it emerged that 23-year-old Fadel Shana had survived a
similar incident two years ago, when his car was hit by a missile
from an Israeli aircraft.
Shana was travelling yesterday in an SUV marked "TV" when he was
felled in the blast, initially described by locals as an Israeli
air strike.
He had been getting out of the vehicle when the shell hit, also
killing two bystanders, Reuters said.
Shana had worked for Reuters in Gaza for more than three years,
the agency said in a statement.
He was also wounded in August 2006 when an Israeli aircraft
fired a missile at the vehicle he was travelling in.
He was "a gentle soul, happy and extremely bright, and one of
the most skilled cameramen in Gaza who will be missed greatly by
all his colleagues", said Alastair Macdonald, bureau chief for
Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Shana was unmarried, and a very popular figure among the
15-person Reuters news team in the Gaza Strip, the agency said.
"Our thoughts are with his family," said Reuters editor-in-chief
David Schlesinger. "We request an immediate investigation into the
incident by the Israeli defence forces.
"This tragic incident shows the risks journalists take every day
to report the news. All governments and organisations have a
responsibility to take the utmost care to protect professionals
trying to do their jobs."
The vehicle Shana was travelling in was an unarmoured sport
utility vehicle bearing "TV" and "Press" markings, Reuters said.
The blast, on a country back road, left the car shattered and
ablaze.
Shana's body armour was partially torn off.
Hundreds of journalists and well-wishers flocked to the hospital
where Shana's body was taken. The family plan to hold a funeral on
Thursday.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, 685
journalists have been killed reporting in conflict zones since
1992.
The organisation counts journalists who were "killed in direct
reprisal for his or her work, in crossfire, or while carrying out a
dangerous assignment''.
The International Federation of Journalists said 172 journalists
were killed last year in the course of their work. About 50 of
these were accidents involving transport, natural disasters or
medical problems triggered by the nature of a journalist's
assignment.
