The attack knocked a Reuters cameraman unconscious and seriously wounded a Palestinian journalist. The armoured car was clearly labeled as a media vehicle, with signs on all sides, including the roof.

The Zionists claim the vehicle was acting "suspiciously" and was not identified as belonging to the media.

Sabbah Hmaida, who works for a local news web site, was seriously wounded in the legs, whilst Fadel Shana, a Reuters cameraman was knocked unconscious.

Meanwhile, two Fox News journalists have been released unharmed nearly two weeks after being seized by militants in Gaza.

The journalists were seized in Gaza City on August 14. Their captors, a previously unknown group calling itself the Holy Jihad Brigades, demanded the release of all Muslims imprisoned by the US by midnight on Saturday in exchange for freeing the journalists.
