Union reports 108 attacks on Palestinian journalists in July

The July report exposes rising threats, with more than 270 journalists killed in Gaza since October 2023, syndicate says. The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate has documented 108 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian journalists and media workers in the occupied West Bank last month. The syndicate’s Freedoms Committee said in a statement on Sunday that the violations ranged from detention and beating to interrogation, obstruction of coverage and the seizure or destruction of press equipment, describing a pattern that has made it increasingly difficult for journalists to document Israeli military raids and settler violence on the ground. Brief detentions and restrictions on reporting were the most common violations, with 58 cases recorded. Six journalists were beaten, and four sustained bleeding injuries while covering developments in Gaza, including from shrapnel.
