Palestinian Cameraman Loses Legs in Israeli Shooting

HeadlineJul 06, 2007

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have pulled out of Gaza following a raid that killed at least 11 militants and left more than 20 people wounded. A Palestinian cameraman was shot as he filmed clashes between Palestinian militants and Israeli troops. Imad Ghanem was near a group of Palestinian gunmen when he was hit by Israeli bullets. Footage of the attack shows he came under continued fire as he lay on the ground next to his camera. A group of Palestinians tried to rescue him but were sent back as the firing continued. Ghanem was finally rushed to the hospital, where doctors were forced to amputate both his legs.
