Israeli Soldiers Kill 5 Palestinians, Including a Journalist
Nazeh Darwazeh, 43, a Palestinian cameraman for Associated Press Television News, was hit by a bullet above the right eye while filming a clash between the army and Palestinians, witnesses said. He was the fourth journalist killed in the West Bank in just over a year.

The Associated Press quoted two Palestinian cameramen at the scene, Hassan Titi, with Reuters, and Sami al-Assi, who works with a Palestinian station, as saying the soldier aimed at the journalists.

Video footage taken by Reuters shows a soldier kneeling beside the tank and pointing a rifle down the alley where the journalists were wearing florescent green bulletproof vests that read, "Press." A moment later, Mr. Darwazeh was hit and fell to the ground.
