Indymedia Journalists Shot at in Deheishe
1545 3 April 2002: Indymedia journalists shot at in Ibdaa Social Center, Deheishe, Bethlehem
1545 Ibdaa Social Center, Deheishe:
A Dutch corporate media journalist with a clearly-recognizable television camera has been filming out of the top floor of Ibdaa for about 2 hours, along with Indymedia videographers and Indymedia photographers. We had been filming children playing and APCs/tanks rolling down Hebron Road.
Suddenly, we heard several sharp cracks and bullets came flying at us -- at least two of them through the wall. Electricity to the room was stopped and we could feel water dripping on us from above. We all hit the floor and stayed there for about 5 minutes. We then crept downstairs. It seems there will be no more journalism taking place from this excellent vantage point, at least not for a few hours.

on MSNBC, which like CNN, was getting kicked out of Israel by the IDF, one of the reporters was actually being surprisingly harsh on a gov't official, accusing him of censorship.
