A Palestinian journalist is in recovery after being shot by Israeli troops in the face. Mohammad Waleed Al-Azza was struck with a rubber-coated bullet while filming an Israeli military raid on a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. The Palestine News Network reports Al-Azza was deliberately targeted after refusing Israeli orders to stop filming. An Israeli soldier reportedly pointed his gun at him and fired from close range. Al-Azza has undergone surgery and is expected to make a full recovery.
