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."
