Reporters and camera crews get wounded and killed in this kind of situation, it's part of the job. It happened in Vietnam, it's happened often enough in the Holy Land.

And the same happens to observers who are not part of the media.

But then soldiers get killed in battles as well. And so do medics and so forth. It goes with the territory, and there are brave people who are willing to take the risk and pay the price, beccause they think what they are doing is something that needs to be done.

There were reporters and camera crews and observers, and rescue workers and medics trying to get into Jenin, and willing to risk their lives - and they were kept out. And it's not unreasonable to be suspicious of why this was done.
