Union reports 108 attacks on Palestinian journalists in July
[]
Grenada Chronicle – Daily Grenada And Caribbean News
The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has documented 108 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian journalists and media workers in the occupied West Bank last month.
The committee also documented 11 settler attacks on journalists, including physical assaults, shoving and threats, mostly while crews covered settler attacks and military raids elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, along with 12 cases in which Israeli forces fired stun grenades or tear gas at journalists, causing some to suffocate.
Six journalists were beaten, and four sustained bleeding injuries while covering developments in Gaza, including from shrapnel.
The syndicate called for journalists to be allowed to work “free from threats, attacks and pursuit”, and demanded accountability for those responsible.
Rights groups have documented that Israeli attacks have killed more than 270 journalists amid a sweeping campaign of arbitrary press detentions since October 2023.
