#1 The Palestinian journalists union on Sunday slammed terrorists militants for using a jeep that allegedly had press insignia on it during a cross-border raid into Israel

But consider the benefits: next time IDF fires on a "legitimate" press vehicle, you'll be able to get international condemnation of Israel (with Abu Azatlan shaking his finger on White House lawn).

#4 Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Ahmad denied the group had put the press markings on the jeep and accused the Israeli military of doing so after the incident. "Islamic Jihad appreciates the work of the international and the Palestinian media," he said.

But AP photos clearly show the markings on the jeep when the attack was under way.

Who to believe? In this case I'll have to go with journalistic scum instead of Islamic scum. Prior patterns of behavior definitely lend credibility to the Palestinians doing this sort of shit. Although doubtful, let's all hope this opens some journalists' eyes as to how worthless their lives are in Gaza and the West Bank. In light of previous coverage, I couldn't blame the Israelis for suddenly needing to thwart a spate of "failed media vehicle attacks" where ~~occupied~~ journalist transportation was routinely demolished.
