The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms “MADA” condemns the escalating attacks of the occupation forces against journalists and the media workers in Palestine, which reached a climax as a result of the current events in the occupied city of Jerusalem with the aim of blocking the transmission of the violations to the world. This was accompanied by widespread violations of freedom of expression committed by social media companies to serve the goal of the occupation state by obscuring the attacks implemented by its soldiers and settlers.
The last week witnessed a wide wave of Israeli attacks against journalists during their field coverage of the events, as the occupation army targeted a number of journalists while they were documenting the storming of the town of Aqraba in the Nablus governorate. This was followed by the attack on four journalists in Jenin while documenting the events, following the martyrdom of two young men near Jenin by Israeli occupation forces. The attacks escalated, as a result of the violent situation in Jerusalem, which affected at least 10 journalists.
