The General Union of Arab Journalists condemns the attack on a media team in the countryside of Quneitra.
Details:
The General Union of Arab Journalists condemned the direct shooting by Israeli forces at a field media team in the rural areas of Quneitra, while they were performing their journalistic duties, considering it a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law and an attack on the freedom of the press and the safety of journalists.
The union confirmed that targeting journalists with fire and scaring their families constitutes a serious violation of the freedom of journalistic work, which imposes on the Israeli authorities a legal and moral responsibility for the safety of journalists and workers in media institutions.
The union called on the International Criminal Court, human rights institutions and international organizations to open an urgent investigation of the incident, identify those responsible and prosecute them, and warned against the repetition of these violations and the threat they pose to the safety of journalists and the freedom of media work.
