GAZA, (PIC)—

IOF troops targeted on Thursday journalists who came to al-Breij refugee camp to cover the Israeli incursion and subsequent clashes with Palestinian resistance. One journalist was seriously wounded.

Eyewitnesses reported that the Reuters’ team and the al-Arabiya team escaped certain death when invading IOF troops fired towards them while they were covering the Israeli incursion into the Makbola neighborhood south-east of the Breij refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

Hanan al-Masri, correspondent of al-Arabeyya satellite television said that the IOF troops “opened intensive fire at the journalists without any justification.”

She added that the al-Arabeyya team and a team of three working with Reuters had to take cover inside one of the houses in the area but the IOF troops continued to fire at them causing some damage to their equipment particularly satellite dishes. Both teams escaped injury.

Emad Ghanem, however was not that lucky. He is a Palestinian cameraman working for the Aqsa satellite television was wounded while filming the incursion and fell on the ground. But the assault against him did not stop there, as Israeli troops continued to fire at the injured journalist.

Amazing how the IOF new that one cameraman was Pali and succeeded to injure him, and continue intensive fire at just the one, and obviously only Pali amongst all those Arab journos.

Did you know that, even though the PLO charter states that the Palis are part and parcel of the pan-Arab Ummah, and not distinct in anyway, that they actually have large triangle shaped yellow heads that make them stick out from other arabs?
