RNPS IMAGES OF THE YEAR 2008 An ambulance passes by the burning vehicle of Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana after he was killed in Gaza April 16, 2008. A Reuters cameraman was killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday in what appeared to be an Israeli military strike. Shana, a 23-year-old Palestinian, was covering violence in the enclave for the international news agency. At least two bystanders were also killed in an explosion after Shana stepped from his vehicle, apparently to film Israeli forces positioned several hundred metres (yards) away. Film from Shana's camera showed an Israeli tank stationed several hundred metres (yards) away opening fire. Some two seconds after the shot raises dust around the main gun barrel, the film goes blank -- apparently at the moment Shana was hit. Earlier, local residents had said the explosion appeared to have been caused by an air strike.
