Reuters cameraman's last moments

(Video) Footage taken by Fadel Shana, Reuters' journalist killed in Gaza Wednesday, shows IDF tank opening fire two seconds before videotape goes blank

VIDEO - A Reuters cameraman, Fadel Shana, was killed in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday while he was filming a military post on the border fence.
Video from Shana's camera showed the tank opening fire. Two seconds after the shot raises dust around its gun, the tape goes blank - seemingly at the moment Shana was hit.
Reuters soundman Wafa Abu Mizyed, 25, sustained a shrapnel wound and was being treated in a Gaza hospital.
The Reuters vehicle was an unarmored sport utility vehicle bearing "TV" and "Press" markings. The blast on a country back road left the car shattered and ablaze. Shana's body armor had been partially torn off.
Shana, who had worked for Reuters in Gaza for more than three years, was wounded in 2006 when an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at a Reuters vehicle. That car also carried markings showing it was operated by the media organization.
