reference news reported on september 13journalists are being "attacked and harassed" by israeli forces in the occupied west bank, according to two un experts, who accused israel of trying to prevent reporting of "war crimes", afp reported on september 12.
at the end of august, israel launched a large-scale offensive in the northern west bank, hitting palestinian militants and causing widespread destruction.
in three incidents this month in jenin and tulkarm, israeli forces "fired live ammunition at journalists or their vehicles" while they were reporting on military operations and civilian casualties, un special investigators irene khan and francesca albanese said in a statement.
the israeli army's offensive targets were jenin, tulkarm and the refugee camps there.
reports said four journalists were injured, despite being wearing clearly marked journalist vests.
“we strongly condemn the attacks and harassment of journalists in the illegally occupied west bank, which is a crude attempt by the israeli army to prevent independent reporting on its potential war crimes,” the experts said.
