The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) were responsible for at least 49 violations of media and journalists’ rights in Palestine during February 2023, a report revealed.

The Palestine Journalists Syndicate (PJS) reported that the frequency of violations increased throughout the first 2 months of 2023, asserting that these violations came “within the framework of the Israeli occupation forces’ attempt to obliterate the reality of their crimes and terror that they practice against the Palestinians.”

The committee stated that it had monitored Israeli violations against media professionals in the occupied Palestinian lands, represented by arrest and targeting in the field and inside Israeli prisons.

The report noted that the increase in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian journalists under the protection of the occupation troops was a remarkable and growing trend.
