During January, Israeli soldiers attacked and injured eight Palestinian journalists while covering events in the occupied West Bank, today said the Palestinian News and Information Agency, WAFA. It said in its monthly report documenting Israeli violations against journalists that the eight were either shot by a rubber-coated metal bullet, suffered from a tear gas canister fired at them, or severely beaten. In addition, four journalists were detained for a few hours and not allowed to do their work, or had their press cards taken away from them, said the report. “The pre-meditated violations against journalists are continuing in order to cover up the crimes (Israel) commits against innocent and unarmed civilians,” said the report, noting that these attacks are a clear violation of international law.
