Gaza: AP Reporter Shot and Wounded While on Duty
------------------------------------------------

In the Gaza Strip, an Associated Press camera operator was shot in the
leg and wounded Monday while covering a protest near Israel's heavily
militarized separation barrier. Witnesses report 47-year-old Rashed
Rashid was nearly 2,000 feet away from the fence when he was shot by an
Israeli soldier. Rashid suffered multiple bone fractures above the ankle
and will need surgery. Rashid was filming from an elevated area, looking
down on the protest and wearing a blue helmet and a vest with the word
"PRESS" clearly written on it.
