Just my opinion
several journalist got killed(again) earlier in the day and well, it's the hazards of their profession. Being in the combat zone accidentally or not, one's bound to be caught in crossfire..in defence of the military...they're just doing what they have to protect themselves from the snipers..somewhere..and from the journalists side. The reporter from BBC(Rageh Omaar) said there weren't really any RPG or snipers in the(Palestine) hotel
