British journalist shot dead in unclear circumstances in Gaza (UPDATE)

A free-lance British journalist, who was identified by witnesses and colleagues as James Miller, was shot to death Friday night in unclear circumstances while filming a documentary in the southern city of Rafah along the Egyptian border.

The journalist, whose identity was as yet unclear, apparently was filming a documentary on the IDF's house demolitions in the city of Rafah when an IDF tank opened fire, hitting him in the neck, the witnesses said. A man who said he also was a British journalist and identified himself only as Dan, said that the victim and two colleagues were simultaneously filming and waving a white flag as they walked toward the tank when the tank opened fire.

The IDF rejected the witnesses' claims. According to the IDF, soldiers patrolling the area of the army's Termit outpost, near the town, had uncovered an arms-smuggling tunnel near the Egyptian border. When the soldiers neared the tunnel, the army said, Palestinians opened fire at them. The army claimed the fire included an anti-tank missile. None of the soldiers were hurt. They shot back at the assailants, inadvertently hitting the journalist.

The journalist, critically wounded, died before an IAF helicopter summoned to the site could evacuate him for treatment in hospital. The IDF said it was investigating the incident.

Israeli tanks routinely open fire as they patrol the border to protect against possible ambushes by Palestinian gunmen.

The journalist was the third foreigner to be injured or killed in Rafah in recent weeks.

American Rachel Corrie, 23, of Olympia, Wash., died March 16 in Rafah when an Israeli bulldozer she was trying to block ran her over. The army said the bulldozer operator id not see her.

On April 11, British peace activist Tom Hurndall, 21, was shot in the head at the Rafah refugee camp. He is in a coma. Witnesses said Hurndall was shot by an Israeli soldier in a military watchtower as Hurndall stooped to pick up a Palestinian girl and carry her to safety.

In the West Bank, peace activist Brian Avery, 24, of Albuquerque, N.M., was shot in the face in the town of Jenin on April 5. The army said it was firing at gunmen and was not aware it hit Avery.

Associated Press Television News cameraman Nazeh Darwazeh was killed on April 19 in the West Bank city of Nablus while videotaping clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinians.

Witnesses said Darwazeh was shot by an Israeli soldier taking cover behind an armored vehicle in an alley. The military insisted there were also Palestinian gunmen in the alley.

The Brussels-based International Federation of Journalists condemned Darwazeh's killing, saying there was evidence of Israeli soldiers targeting journalists. It called on Israeli authorities to carry out a full investigation and said they don't do enough to protect media covering the conflict.

The group represents more than 500,000 journalists in over 100 countries.

British cameraman killed by IDF fire while filming in Rafah
By Arnon Regular and Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondents and Agencies

Israel Defense Forces troops demolishing a home suspected of concealing an arms-smuggling tunnel in the southern Gaza Strip shot dead a British television cameraman late Friday, military officials and Palestinian witnesses said.

James Miller, who was in the flashpoint refugee camp of Rafah making a documentary on how Palestinian children are affected by violence, was fired upon unprovoked, witnesses said. He died after being evacuated by Israeli forces for treatment.

"We got close to the area and filmed, but we couldn't leave because an (Israeli) tank was around 100 meters from where we stood," Abdel-Rahman Abdullah, a freelance Palestinian journalist who saw the night-time incident, told Reuters.

"We were very visible to the troops, with a white flag and 'TV' markings on our vests, but still the troops opened fire, hitting James Miller," he said.

The IDF denied troops targeted Miller, saying their operation was to uncover tunnels used by militants to smuggle in weapons from nearby Egypt for a 31-month-old armed uprising.

"Our forces found a tunnel at the house in question, when an anti-tank missile was fired at them. They shot back at the source of the attack," army spokesman Captain Jacob Dallal said.

"James Miller was apparently hit during that exchange. The Israeli military expresses sorrow at a civilian death, but it must be stressed that a cameraman who knowingly enters a combat zone, especially at night, endangers himself," Dallal said.

Rafah sees frequent Israeli incursions against the tunnels - eliciting gunfire from Palestinian militants protecting them.

But Abdullah said there were no exchanges of fire on Friday night. "We even called out to the Israeli troops in their armored vehicles and could hear them talking inside, before they started shooting," he said.

A spokesman for the British embassy in Tel Aviv said he was aware of the incident but declined to give details.

Dozens of foreign journalists have been hurt while reporting on the Palestinian uprising for independence in Gaza and the West Bank, which erupted in September 2000.

Il cameraman britannico James Muller è stato ferito questa sera da spari israeliani a Rafah, al sud di Gaza, a quanto hanno detto fonti ospedaliere palestinesi.

Secondo alcuni testimoni, i soldati israeliani stavano demolendo una casa palestinese ed hanno sostenuto una sparatoria con militanti palestinesi. (red)
