The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate’s Freedoms Committee said in a statement that last month Israeli forces killed 10 journalists in Gaza and another in the West Bank.

In at least seven cases, the drone attacks resulted in limb amputations of reporters and media employees, he said.

In February, five were arrested in the West Bank and their belongings confiscated, including cameras and cell phones, the text detailed.

“Nine cases of serious abuse and beatings were also recorded, with four cases of suffocation after being attacked with tear gas bombs,” the report said.

The Committee noted that four homes of journalists and press institutions were raided last month by the military, who confiscated two printing presses.

The aim of these attacks is to try to hide the truth of the crimes in the occupied territories, it said.

In early November, the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called on the UN and international institutions to protect press workers in the Strip.

The head of the union, Nasser Abu Bakr, delivered a letter of protest to the UN offices in this city to denounce the crimes committed against journalists in the territory.

Since the beginning of the aggression against Gaza, Israel has launched attacks against some fifty headquarters of sector institutions, including the offices of Al Jazeera, Palestine TV, the Maan news agencies, as well as Al Quds and Al Ayyam newspapers.
