Al Jazeera technician wounded in West Bank
2006-07-20
DUBAI - A member of Al Jazeera televisionÂ’s team in the West Bank was wounded on Wednesday by Israeli fire during live coverage of an Israeli incursion into the town of Nablus, its correspondent said.

The crew was reporting live on the advance of Israeli troops when several shots were heard and technician Wael Tantous was hit in the leg. “Our colleague was hit by Israeli fire,” said correspondent Jevara Al Boudeiri.
"Aim higher next time, Avi!"
"Right. Sorry, Sarge."
"Cheez, you shoot like a Paleo."
"C'mon, Sarge, you don't have to be nasty about it!"
Tantous appeared on screen collapsing before he was helped by his colleagues who had run for shelter. “Since the beginning of the current war against Lebanon, Al Jazeera teams have been the target of harassment and intimidation by Israeli authorities, which have tried to hurt our correspondent Jevara Al Boudeiri and shot technician Wael Tantous,” said a statement by the Doha-based channel.
Ever ask yourself, 'why do they hate us'?
“Tantous was wounded in his leg. His life is not in danger,” a channel spokesman told AFP.
