The syndicate said the attack was part of a coordinated campaign to prevent journalists from carrying out their duties.
A monthly report by the PJS Press Freedom Committee highlighted a dangerous pattern that directly targets journalistic activities and puts journalists’ lives at risk.
Two journalists, one in Tulkarem and one in Gaza, were injured by live and plastic bullets while covering events there.
The report said Israeli settlers carried out 22 of the assaults, including blocking interviews, chasing journalists, beating them with sticks, throwing stones, and brandishing weapons.
Additionally, 16 cases of detention and obstruction of media operations were recorded.
Six of the incidents involved direct physical assault, Al Jazeera reported.
In four cases, equipment was confiscated and materials were forcibly deleted.
In two incidents, weapons were pointed directly at journalists.
The report records two cases of vehicle destruction and seizure.
One journalist was arrested, one house was searched, and one journalist was summoned to court.
Mohammed al-Raham, chairman of the PJS Press Freedom Committee, said the numbers “reflect a clear policy aimed at silencing Palestinian journalists.”
He called for increased international pressure on Israel to halt the attacks and protect Palestinian media workers.
Separately, the report noted that the Israeli regime’s criminal actions since October 2023 have killed more than 70,000 people, mostly women and children, and injured nearly 171,000 in the Gaza Strip, in a conflict that was suspended by the October 10 ceasefire.
At least 1,088 Palestinians have been killed, 10,700 injured and more than 20,500 arrested by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank since October 2023.
