As Ali Hashem relays: “Our group got separated from this group. They went to a spot overlooking the landscape. They were colleagues from Al Jazeera, from Reuters, from AFP. It appears that a shell from a tank hit them directly. It was horrible. The team was clean, all wearing helmets and safety jackets marked “Type”. They were in an open space. It was on a hill, it was open for all to see. Two of our colleagues are in the hospital. Another colleague, a very good friend lost his life.”
