Israeli Military Fires on Palestinian Journalists in West Bank

Palestinian journalists were targeted by the Israeli military during a raid in Kafr Dan, a town in the occupied West Bank. Mohammed Mansour, a journalist for the Palestinian news agency WAFA, was injured when his car was fired upon, despite clear press identification.

Footage captured a chaotic scene as journalists wearing press labels were shot at while reporting on the raid. The Israeli military fired live bullets directly at the vehicle, injuring four journalists. Humanitarian groups have accused the IDF of using disproportionate force and hindering aid access in the occupied territory.

Violence has escalated in the occupied West Bank following the Israeli offensive in Gaza. The IDF claims its operations are necessary to combat terror threats. The conflict has resulted in casualties on both sides, with Palestinian journalists facing direct danger while reporting on the aftermath.

The ongoing tensions underscore the challenges faced by journalists covering conflicts in the region, where press freedom and safety are constantly at risk.
