Israel army confirms air strike on Gaza vehicle
August 26, 2006
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli forces carried out an air
strike on a Reuters vehicle in the Gaza Strip on Saturday
because it was acting suspiciously in an area of combat and had
not been identified as belonging to the media, the army said.
“During the operation, there was an aerial attack on a
suspicious vehicle that drove in a suspicious manner right by
the forces and in between the Palestinian militant posts,” army
spokeswoman Captain Noa Meir said.
“This car was not identified by the army as a press
vehicle. This has been a combat area. It is not recommended for
anyone to be around. We do not target the press. If journalists
were hurt, we regret it.”
