- Israel / Palestinian Territories
Israelis urged to quickly release findings of probe into shelling of Palestinian TV cameraman
 Reuters cameraman Fadel Shanaa (photo) was killed by a shell fired by an Israeli tank while he was filming an Israeli incursion into the Gaza Strip on 16 April. “The statements of witnesses and the evidence at the scene disturbingly indicate that a serious criminal error was committed by Israeli soldiers,” Reporters Without Borders said.
