The current spate of attacks, which coincided with the beginning of Arab-Jewish clashes during Ramadan, intensified following the beginning of hostilities between Israel and Hamas.
Journalists have been attacked while covering riots, rocket strikes and other events connected with the conflict.
Last Thursday, Kan reporter Yoav Zehavi and cameraman Rolan Novitzky were beaten by far-right Jews in Tel Aviv while reporting on Jewish retaliatory attacks against Arabs.
According to media reports, suspects Yosef Peretz and Yosef Ma’atuf, who were later indicted over the assault, screamed that the journalists were “antisemites” and leftists before attacking them, leading to Novitzky’s hospitalization.

Young Palestinians pelted stones at a car in Jerusalem driven by a Jewish Israeli near Jerusalem’s Lion’s Gate, causing him to lose control of the vehicle and hit one of them. The Palestinian hit by the car was not injured.
The driver and the passengers were lightly injured, then treated by Magen David Adom medics in the area. The number of passengers is unknown.
Around 15 minute later, the driver, after receiving medical treatment, returned to the car with a police escort. There, the officer and the driver were attacked again by Palestinian youth, as documented by Haaretz photographer Ohad Zwigenberg. The officer threatened the youth with his weapon by firing into the air. No one else was injured.
Israeli police decided to break up a contentious Jewish march in Jerusalem on Monday after rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, as tensions in the city are running high after days of violent clashes involving Israeli police, Muslim worshippers and both Jewish and Palestinian protesters.
Clashes which unfolded Monday morning on the Temple Mount compound left more than 300 Palestinians wounded, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent, prompting an Israeli decision to bar Jews from entering the holy site, one of several flashpoints in the city, as Muslims mark the final days of Ramadan and Jewish Israelis celebrate Jerusalem Day.
