UPDATE 6:35 PM

The kidnapping took place just before sunset in Gaza City, around 4:50 PM local time. The victim is a 50-year old Peruvian photographer named Jaime Razuri. An AFP reporter said the photographer was returning from an assignment in Gaza and was abducted at gunpoint by five masked 'men' as he got out of his car with his driver.

The AFP reporter said the photographer spent most of his career covering Latin America.
