Israel attacks Press TV journalists

Press TV News - Nov 8, 2007

Israel's military has attacked Press TV journalists covering an incursion into Umm al-Nasser village in the northern Gaza Strip.

A Press TV correspondent at the scene said that eight journalists came under the fire of Israeli tanks and Apache helicopter gunships.

Israeli troops were also shooting at the journalists lying on the ground for cover, he added.

It is not the first time that Press TV correspondents are attacked.

In October, Fayez Khurshid, a Press TV correspondent in Afghanistan, was kidnapped and tortured by US forces in the country.
