A British cameraman had been shot dead by Israeli forces while filming in the

Gaza Strip.

James Miller was in Rafah near the Egyptian border when he was hit in the

James Miller was one of the finest documentary cameramen of his generation.

well used to working in the world's most dangerous places.

James was also a husband and the

father of two small children.

He knew the risks of going to Gaza.

But he thought his work could make a difference.

Your human response is actually not to intrude and to switch the camera off and

move away.

But if you do that, you're not actually bearing witness to what has happened to

them. You are showing a vast number of people the actual reality of that

situation.

The Israeli army said its troops had fired in self -defense.

Yet TV footage shows Mr. Miller and his team waving white flags at the Israeli

soldiers.

This film

isn't about the rights and wrongs of the Israeli -Palestinian conflict.

It's about the people who get sucked in.

About James.

And about children caught up in a grown -up war.

James had planned a film about Israeli children too.

So the story isn't finished.

But James did bear witness.

Everything you're about to see, you see through his eyes.

Get me my vest ready.

The witnesses say Israeli agents planted a bomb in the car of men accused of

planning suicide attacks.

A helicopter detonated the charge.

This is known as a targeted assassination.

Israel warned today it would target more key Palestinian militants after killing

a senior member of Hamas.

The ground's covered in shreds of flesh.

What is this? What is this? What is this?

We're trying to understand.

How people learn to hate though deeply, they're prepared to die in order to

kill.

So we're looking for the next generation.

The children who will make either peace or war.

It doesn't matter where you go.

It's dangerous for you to want to go back. That's it.

Till it ends.

I don't know when it will end.

Till it ends.

The West Bank is divided by Israeli roadblocks.

A new Palestinian

Intifada uprising broke out in September 2000.

Since then, Israel has been defending itself against a wave of suicide

Palestinian towns have become like prisons.

The road is blocked, OK?

The road's blocked?

What has happened?

What has happened?

The soldiers have caught yet another suspected suicide bomber trying to get

Israel. How long ago did it happen? How long ago? Just now?

OK. Have you just caught him now?

No. A few minutes ago?

I can't answer you, please. Okay. About an hour ago. Thank you.

Hello.

You will go now.

Go back.

Thank you.

How far back?

Near the car.

Okay? Okay.

The white car.

Right.

Nablus is the biggest West Bank city.

We find it under Israeli occupation.

There are Israeli tanks in three positions around Nablus today.

We've heard that there have been crashes in the centre of town.

There's a daytime curfew in the city, but people seem to be defying it.

It's believed that 80 % of suicide bombings are planned here.

The Palestinian Authority hasn't stopped the militants, so the Israeli army has

come to hunt them out.

On the streets, we see no sign of militants.

Only kids.

Shalom. Hello. Good afternoon.

We have television.

What is going on?

What is going on around here?

No? Nothing really. Nothing too much.

Okay. Is it safe for us to go around here?

Not quite safe, but they're throwing stones, you know? They're throwing

Thanks very much.

Okay. Okay, cheers. Thank you. Thank you.

It's not even worried about the tank.

James' voice wouldn't normally be in the film.

No, I think that's good. Now it seems part of the story.

The soldiers aren't aiming directly at the boys.

But there's so much shooting, kids often get hit.

Stones can't hurt parents, so why do they risk it?

The task was failed?

What do you think, sir?

Yeah, perfect.

He says my mum will hit me.

He's not afraid of his tank, but he's afraid of his mother.

Since the intifada began, 800 Israelis and over 2 ,000 Palestinians have been

killed.

The Israelis get

caught in the rush hour traffic.

They're going to get really nervous.
