It's Simone Camilli, a videographer, and the first foreign journalist to die there (after a good number of locals).
AP reports: "An Associated Press video journalist has been killed in an ordnance
explosion in the Gaza Strip, together with a Palestinian translator and
three members of the Gaza police. Simone
Camilli, 35, died Wednesday when Gaza police engineers were neutralizing
unexploded ordnance in the Gaza town of Beit Lahiya left over from
fighting between Israel and Islamic militants.
"Camilli and a translator working with the AP, Ali Shehda Abu Afash,
were accompanying the ordnance team on assignment when the explosion
occurred. The police said four other people were seriously injured,
including AP photographer Hatem Moussa. Camilli, an Italian national, had worked for The Associated Press since 2005."
