Activists: Syrian Rocket Kills 3-Man Crew From Opposition TV
2014-12-10
[Ynet] Syrian activists say a government rocket attack in the country's south has killed three staffers working for an opposition-linked TV station.

Activist Ahmad al-Masalmeh says the three were killed on Monday when the rocket fired by government forces hit their car in the southern province of Daraa.

He said Tuesday they were driving out of the contested village of Sheikh Maskeen where they had been covering festivities between government troops and opposition fighters.
Rockets can't avoid non-combatants once they've been shot off.

#3  Not according to Anjam Chodery or ISJV.
ISJV stated that anyone recording without a license and/or broadcasting without regional censor's approval is basically a spy and subject to death. At the least it undermines their own media propaganda message, underscoring how important media is to the military operations (not giving away positions of hostages and VIPS), propaganda recruiting and beg letters.

By their own admissions, media is combatant, so.

Are TV crew really non-combatants?
