Format
Amid continuing violent clashes in Jerusalem with Palestinian reporters among the victims and Israeli airforce attacks on media outlets in Gaza City, Reporters Without Borders (RSF) condemns Israel s disproportionate use of force against journalists, who should under no circumstances be treated as parties to the armed conflict.
At least seven journalists were injured by rubber bullets fired by Israeli soldiers trying to remove demonstrators from the Temple Mount on 7 May. Four Palestinian freelancers who were covering the clashes Saleh Zighari, Atta Awisat, Baraah Abo Ramouz and Abdul Afu Zughayer were among those injured by bullet impacts.
