The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) has kept record of 26 violations against press freedoms in the West Bank and Gaza in September.
A report by MADA documented 22 violations by the Israeli forces and police against journalists in the West Bank and Gaza in September.
MADA said a total of 26 violations of the freedom of the press was recorded in September up from 25 in August.
The center deemed most of the Israeli violations as “serious.”
It added that last month the Ofer military court southwest of Ramallah issued a suspended eight-month prison sentence against al-Aqsa TV journalists Mustafa al-Khawaja and Alaa al-Titi. Both were also banned from working with the channel and ordered to pay a fine of 3000 shekels.
Three journalists were also arrested by the Israeli forces while six others had been subjected to physical assaults and injuries in September.
