This entire incident was captured on camera. Sweeney himself was reporting on the rockets fired, when suddenly, to his surprise, he seemed to hear the sound of a shell coming. They somehow managed to lean forward, and the still camera recorded a massive explosion. The attack took place just a few meters away from where the reporter and cameraman were standing. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova condemned Israel for the attack and said that the attack on journalists carrying press marks cannot be considered a mere accident, given the killing of two hundred journalists in Gaza.
