The committee stated that the Israeli army and settlers targeted "10 journalists while covering the demolition of Jerusalemites' homes and activities in the West Bank, by beating, kicking, dragging and using rubber bullets and poison gas bombs."

And she added, "The occupation forces and settlers prevented more than 13 journalists from covering and carrying out their duties, and two cases of storming, raiding, searching and tampering with the contents of journalists' homes were monitored."

The committee indicated that the Israeli army threatened "about 3 journalists with death and arrest and accused them of incitement, in addition to documenting two cases of destroying journalists' cameras and cars, and recording 5 cases of confiscation of Palestinian equipment, cards and identity."

The committee documented, according to the report, "the arrest and detention of 9 journalists, the recording of the deportation of two journalists from Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the documentation of a case of house confinement."

The committee stated that "the occupation court issued a ruling to arrest the sick journalist, Dina Jaradat, who was sentenced to 4 months in prison."

And she added: "The report recorded 7 cases of delaying trials and extending the period of detention and administrative detention of journalists."

In the same context, the committee said that it "observed 6 cases of harassment of imprisoned journalists inside Israeli prisons, and two cases of forcing them to pay a fine after the verdict was issued."

According to the committee, Israel is detaining "21 Palestinian journalists, media workers and activists" in its prisons.

On the other hand, the committee documented the closure of "administrations of social networking sites in conspiracy with the occupation, more than 11 pages of journalists and media professionals, under the pretext of violating the instructions of publication."
