"Al Jazeera footage showed Imad Ghanem, a cameraman for Hamas's Al Aqsa television network, lying on the ground after being hit, with his camera thrown beside him. He could then be seen getting shot twice more while lying on the ground. Medical sources in Gaza reported that both his legs later had to be amputated and he is in critical condition.

"An IDF source said yesterday that Ghanem had been in the first line of fire and was not wearing a vest indicating that he was a member of the press. The source added that the man was probably not a card-carrying reporter, and that his footage would probably be used for Hamas propaganda, not news."
