-Caveat Lector- Ha'aretz: Front units to get video cameras By Amos Harel Ha'aretz Military Correspondent Ha'aretz 15 October 2000 The Israel Defense Forces will equip front-line units with video cameras, to show the world the Israeli viewpoint. The IDF Spokesman, Brigadier General Ron Kitri, said yesterday in an interview to Channel 2's "Media File," that the decision was made only recently, and will be implemented soon. The footage will be distributed to the Israeli and foreign media, he said. The IDF maintains that clashes in the occupied territories, in which Israeli soldiers are often under gunfire, are not documented well enough. As a result, the general picture in the media is that of soldiers, tanks and helicopters fighting stone-throwers. Since the PA instructed the Palestinian TV camera crews not to videotape the Tanzim militia shooting at riots, and instructed that all shooting be limited to after dark, the image received is reminiscent of the Intifada, and problematic for Israel's public relations. Ideas similar to that of Brig. Gen. Kitri were suggested during the Intifada, but were never approved for implementation. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
