Ramallah, (IINA) - The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) stated on Monday that Israel has committed 450 violations against Palestinian and international journalists in the occupied Palestinian territory since the start of this year, WAFA reported.
In a press release issued on the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists, MADA said of those 450 violations documented this year, at least 100 of them occurred during October alone.
It is noteworthy that the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon stated: "More than 700 journalists have been killed in the last decade".
MADA said that the year 2014 witnessed the bloodiest crimes committed by Israel against journalists, with 17 Palestinian journalists killed during Israel’s aggression on Gaza.
The group condemned Israel’s continuing use of violence against journalists, saying lack of accountability has encouraged Israel to perpetrate more crimes against journalists.
