DARWAZEH, Nazih -- Journalist
Nazeh Darwazeh, a 42-year-old Palestinian cameraman working with the Associated Press Television News (APTN), was shot dead by an Israeli soldier in Nablus on 19 April 2003. He was one of a group of Palestinian journalists filming a confrontation between Palestinian youth and the Israeli military, when Israeli soldiers opened fire. He was shot in the head at a range of only 20 yards. The bullet entered through his eye. Darwazi, wearing a yellow jacket marked "press," was with half a dozen other journalists.
