<https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/141389>RAMALLAH, Monday, February 5,
2024 (WAFA) <https://english.wafa.ps/Pages/Details/141389> – At least 135
crimes, assaults and violations committed by the Israeli occupation against
journalism in Palestine were recorded in January, the foremost of which was
the killing of 14 journalists, including eight who were killed by direct
missile and bullet attacks against their homes and four others who were
killed while on the job, according to the monthly report issued by the
Freedom Committee at the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate.

The report stressed that the Israeli attacks on journalists, including the
intentional targeting of their homes and the killing of their families,
continued unabated. According to the report, 12 inhabited houses were
targeted, which led to the killing of dozens of journalists’ family members.

The report affirmed the Israeli occupation soldiers’ lawless measures
against journalists in the West Bank, adding that 50 cases of attacks
against journalists were recorded, including detaining press crews,
preventing them from doing their job and targeting them with live bullets.

The report stressed that journalists are faced with violence and
intimidation, recording at least 26 incidents in which four journalists
were brutally injured by bullets and missile shrapnel, in addition to four
others who sustained cuts and bruises in Israeli attacks.

The report recorded four cases of beatings, eight injuries by tear gas and
sound bombs and seven cases of destruction and seizure of equipment. In
addition, The Israeli occupation detained two journalists and stormed press
institutions and the homes of three journalists. One journalist was also
subjected to prosecution.

The report also cited the complete interruption of communication and
internet services for 14 days last month as a result of the Israeli direct
targeting of telecommunications towers in Gaza. Several technical staff
were killed by the Israeli occupation while attempting to fix the damage,
it added.

The commission said that 116 journalists and media workers have been killed
in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on October
7.

At least 35 journalists remain behind Israeli bars under harsh conditions
that deny them the most basic rights of prisoners enshrined in
international laws and conventions, according to the report.

The report added that the fate of several journalists remains unknown after
losing all contact with them on October 7.
