Israeli forces blindfold, handcuff and detain Al Jazeera reporter in attack in Hebron Israeli Israeli forces raided the home of Al Jazeera reporter Montsar Nassar in the town of Dora, south of Hebron in the West Bank, blindfolded and handcuffed the journalist during a military operation at dawn earlier today. Eyewitnesses published by Al Jazeera showed armed Israeli IDF forces forcing Nassar into a military vehicle after storming his family's home. Nassar's detention without trial comes against the backdrop of increased military bombing across the West Bank, where Israeli forces have systematically attacked journalists reporting on military blockades, land confiscations and punitive house demolitions. Local human rights organizations and Palestinian press organizations condemned the arrest, noting that Israeli forces routinely subject journalists to arbitrary detention, violence and harassment in order to silence field coverage of military abuses.
