Israeli regime forces have attacked a group of Palestinian journalists who were holding a peaceful demonstration in the occupied West Bank in protest at Tel Aviv’s violations of their rights.
According to reports, Israel’s new assault took place on Thursday when the Palestinian journalists were marching on the regime’s so-called Beit El settlement and a nearby military checkpoint near the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah.
The Thursday protest rally was staged on the occasion of the World Press Freedom Day which falls on May 3 every year.
During the gathering, the Palestinian journalists censured the regime in Tel Aviv for its abuses, degrading behavior and humiliation of journalists.
They also called on the Israeli regime to allow them to move freely across the occupied Palestinian territories.
The recent incident is the latest in Israeli acts of aggression against Palestinian journalists, which have been on the rise over the past months.
According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, the Israeli aggressions against pro-Palestinian journalists have increased since 2013.
The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms has also warned against Israeli attacks against female Palestinian journalists in the occupied West Bank and the besieged Gaza Strip.
In March, Palestinian journalist Moussa al-Shaer said Israeli soldiers used him and his two colleagues as human shields during a demonstration in the occupied West Bank city of Bethlehem.
