ABC news reported two nights ago that Israeli soldiers fired on a TV crew in
Ramallah. Two of the crew were badly injured; I think it was later reported
that one had died. These two were in a well-marked TV car -- sounds like a
different event than the one Rasheed refers to. Several news channels here
showed footage taken by the crew; their camera remained on while the attack
took place.
In a separate report, the Israeli government has ordered all (or only
foreign ones? -- I'm not sure) news organizations to leave the areas where
they are attacking Palestinians, saying that if they remained it was 'at
their own risk.' This makes the news reporters more dependent on offical
briefings for their news.
I also heard that some 30 European peace activists had joined Arafat in his
rooms to help protect him. Those activists who after their visit with Arafat
left the compound were arrested by the Israelis, according to the story
reported here. Is this accurate? Does anyone know more about this?
In a report this afternoon, NBC reported that 'dozens' of Palestinian men
had been rounded up and shot by the Israelis. These are all such quick
reports that it is difficult to get a sense of whether the reports are at
all complete.
