Israeli Troops Shoot Palestinian Journalist in Face for Filming Raid 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Palestinian journalist is in recovery after being shot by Israeli
troops in the face. Mohammad Waleed Al-Azza was struck with a
rubber-coated bullet while filming an Israeli military raid on a refugee
camp in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. The Palestine News Network
reports Al-Azza was deliberately targeted after refusing Israeli orders
to stop filming. An Israeli soldier reportedly pointed his gun at him
and fired from close range. Al-Azza has undergone surgery and is
expected to make a full recovery.
