Shehada claimed the the targeting of him and other civilians was deliberate in video taken after his leg had been severed.
"We were filming in a safe place, I was wearing my flak jacket and my helmet " even the car I was in had a PRESS' and TV' sign marked on it. It was clear that I was a civilian and a journalist. We were targeted," he told CNN.
A TRT statement also referred to a "deliberate" attack on media personnel.
CNN reported that footage from the scene showed men, women, and children running for cover at the sound of artillery fire. The seven journalists and an elderly man named Saleh who was running for cover were ultimately injured in the strike.
