Reuters cameraman killed by his own stupidity...
A Reuters crew of three local stringers was shot at and one of them killed the other day when they decided to video an Israeli tank across a small valley. The tank crew, very likely saw the crew and thought they were settin gup an ATGM to fire at the them. So they put fire on the presumed enemy forces which turned out to be a camera man, two other civilians.

From the front a video camera and an Anti tank missile launcher can look remarkably similar. Now days, markings on the side of a vehicle look like squat. UN vehicles have been stolen and used to attack civilians. "TV" in gaffers tape on the side and on the hood doesn't do much for your safety if the other side thinks groups like Hamas or Hezballah are using that to camouflage their movements. The fact is that those groups have used ambulances and other vehicles to move around combat forces.

Illegal combatants are such specifically because they get innocents killed in situations like this.
