Israeli Troops Gun Down Cameraman From Egyptian TV

Ramallah – A TV cameraman from the Egyptian Nile TV camera crew was wounded by gunshots from Israeli troops.

At least one bullet struck cameraman Carlos Handal in the mouth. He managed to stop and get out of the van – which was marked with "TV" signs – holding his face with one hand.

The cameraman was taking footage of the events from inside the car when he and the driver were surprised by Israeli shootings. Medics were not able to reach the place of the incident. Al-Jazeera TV aired the video tape of the attack on Handal and his colleague. Handal was finally hospitalized and is in moderate condition.
