A Turkish state television journalist was badly wounded and another slightly hurt in Gaza, the TRT channel said, adding that the team had been targeted by an Israeli strike, AFP reports.

“The vehicle of a team from TRT Arabi that was preparing to broadcast from the Nuseirat camp […] was targeted by an Israeli army strike,” the broadcaster said.

“Sami Shahada, a freelance cameraman, was badly wounded,” it added.

TRT’s chief Zahid Sobaci said Shahada had “lost a foot and is currently in surgery”, calling the attack “Israeli brutality”.
