RAMALLAH, April 8, 2018 (WAFA) – The Palestine News and Information Agency (WAFA) has documented 28 violations by Israeli occupation forces against journalists working in the occupied Palestinian territories during March 2018.

WAFA said in its monthly report of Israeli violations against journalists that 16 journalists were either shot and injured by Israeli forces, suffocated from teargas or were beaten by Israeli soldiers.

Meanwhile, it said 14 other journalists were arrested, briefly detained or were fired at by Israeli soldiers but not injured.

The report came only two days after the fatal shooting by Israeli forces of Palestinian cameraman Yasser Murtaja at the Gaza-Israel border on Friday.
