"The vehicle of a team from TRT Arabi (TRT's Arabic-language channel) that was preparing to broadcast from the Nuseirat camp... was targeted by an Israeli army strike," the broadcaster said.
"Sami Shahada, a freelance cameraman, was badly wounded," it added.
TRT's chief Zahid Sobaci said Shahada had "lost a foot and is currently in surgery", calling the attack "Israeli brutality".
The channel reported that other journalists were wounded in the central Gaza refugee camp.
