Israeli Forces Wounded Two Journalist in Occupied West Bank

Saturday 3 September 2016
Israeli Forces Wounded Two Journalist in Occupied West Bank

`Alwaght- Israeli Army has wounded two photojournalists in different crackdowns against Palestinian protestors. The first journalist was wounded when Tel Aviv forces stated shooting tear gas to disperse protestors during weekly protest in the northern occupied West bank village of Kafr Qaddum. Nidal Shtayyah, Palestinian photojournalist was hit by a tear gas canister on the back of his head. He was taken to Rafidia hospital for treatment. Residents of Kafr Qaddum began staging weekly protests in 2011 against land confiscations, as well as the closure of the village’s southern road by Israeli forces. Fadi Jayyousi, another photojournalist was also hit by Israeli rubber-coated steel bullets when the forces attacked protestors in Jalazone refugee camp near Rammallah. The attacks come amid a documented increased Tel Aviv’s crackdown on press and journalists. The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms, known as MADA, had declared an “unprecedented” increase in the violation against journalists in 2015 when the incidents of aggression against press reached “the highest ever to be monitored in Palestine” since the group started monitoring violations against media freedoms more than a decade ago. The center has recorded a 17 percent increase in yet “unprecedented” violations of media freedom by Israeli forces during the first half of 2016, MADA General Director Moussa Rimawi said in the semi-annual report
