Reuters cameraman Fadel Shana has been killed in Gaza in an explosion which also claimed the lives of two bystanders.

Shana, 23, was travelling in a car that had stopped and was killed in an explosion as he was getting out of it, Reuters said. A Reuters soundman, Wafa Abu Mizyed, also travelling in the vehicle escaped serious injury.

The cameraman, who had worked for the news agency in the region for more than three years, is the first Reuters journalist to be killed in Gaza.

Shana, a Palestinian, had previously been wounded in August 2006 when an Israeli aircraft fired a missile at the vehicle he was travelling in.
