Witnesses: Israeli Air Strike Hits Reuters Car

Posted by: Mary Katharine Ham at 5:50 PM

Two missiles fired by Israeli aircraft early Sunday morning hit an armored car belonging to the Reuters news agency and wounded a television cameraman inside, Palestinian witnesses said.
The Israeli army said it was checking the report.

According to witnesses, the cameraman was filming an Israeli raid in Gaza near the Karni crossing when the vehicle was hit.

I'm sure everyone will be watching the reporting on this incident very closely.

The Israeli army is still checking on the report; most of the info is from witnesses.

Update: Here's the BBC story, which reports that one cameraman is slightly injured and another has a serious leg wound.

Update: Allah, don't work too hard, hon. Updates with video over there.

I agree Outlaw
If that vehicle were hit by 2 missles you wouldn't be able to tell what kind of vehicle it was. Just remember back to all those "car swarms" of Palestinions. You couldn't tell the hood from the fender. It was nothing more than twisted bent metal.

Ligit Accident Where as...
The deliberate targetting of Israeli civilians go under-reported and ignored in the press. Reuters is reportedly filing for an 'investigation'? OK fine- Reuters was in a war zone- they knew better, but threw caution to the wind and paid the price for it- investigation over. The liberal left terror appologists repeatedly try to infere that Israel deliberately attacks innocents yet they absolutely will not report on the blatant human rights violations of Hammas nor condemn any such actions. Perhaps Reuters can doctor their photos of the attack to include more smoke and damage.

Something Smells
Being a Army Aviator of some ill repute, I know a little bit about missiles and stuff...and if two missiles were shot at the armored car, there wouldn't be much left. Either that, or the Israelis are terrible shots...this story stinks to high heaven. (sarcasm on)But then again, why would they make this stuff up.(sarcasm off)
