Two journalists en route to cover a demonstration marking International Women’s Day were injured by stun grenades at an Israeli military checkpoint between Jerusalem and Ramallah on Wednesday morning.
According to the press freedom group Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Israeli police reportedly fired at and injured Rami Al-Faqih, a correspondent at the local Al-Quds Educational Television, and Iyad Hamad, a cameraman for The Associated Press at the Qalandia checkpoint.
“We are troubled by these reports that Israeli border police deliberately fired at journalists. We urge the Israeli authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident immediately and to instruct its forces to allow journalists to do their job unhindered,” CPJ’s Middle East Director Joe Simon stated.
According to the journalists, Israeli border police fired deliberately at members of the media at the protest, but emphasized that none of the demonstrators were hurt.
Both Al-Faqih and Hamad were reportedly shot and wounded in the legs.
