Israeli forces shoot tear gas at journalists in Tulkarem
Footage posted on Palestinian social media channels show Israeli forces firing tear gas at clearly marked journalists covering the Israeli military raid in Tulkarem.
In one of the videos, verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency, two Israeli soldiers are seen firing tear gas canisters near a crowd of journalists, who cough as they inhale smoke while documenting the scene.
Israel’s military has regularly attacked journalists during the war, killing at least 111 of them, according to preliminary figures from the US nonprofit Committee to Protect Journalists.
Among the latest targeted were Al Jazeera journalist Ismail al-Ghoul and cameraman Rami al-Rifi, who were killed by an Israeli air attack on their car near Gaza City on Wednesday.
Occupied West Bank protest in solidarity with Palestinian prisoners
Hundreds of Palestinian protesters have marched through the streets of the occupied West Bank to call for an end to the war in Gaza and to demand fair treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
This came after the Israeli military police detained nine soldiers over separate allegations of severe abuse and sexual assault of detainees.
A report by the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees released earlier this year stated that detainees said they were subjected to mistreatment and abuse while in Israeli custody.
