Al Jazeera - October 23, 2024
<<Al Jazeera decries 'unfounded' Israeli claims about its Gaza
journalists
The network warns Israel against using allegations as a justification
for targeting Al Jazeera journalists.
Al Jazeera has strongly rejected a claim by the Israeli military that
six of its journalists based in Gaza are members of the Palestinian
groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). The media network on
Wednesday vehemently condemned the "unfounded allegations" by the
Israeli army, which in a post on X described some of the named Al
Jazeera Arabic correspondents as <operatives> working for Hamas's armed
wing to promote the group's <propaganda> in the besieged and bombarded
enclave. The six named journalists are Anas al-Sharif, Talal Aruki, Alaa
Salama, Hossam Shabat, Ismail Farid and Ashraf Saraj. The military
published <documents> that it claims prove the <integration of Hamas
terrorists within> Al Jazeera. It claimed the papers show lists of
people who have completed training courses and salaries. "Al Jazeera
categorically rejects the Israeli occupation forces' portrayal of our
journalists as terrorists and denounces their use of fabricated
evidence," the network said in a statement. "The Network views these
fabricated accusations as a blatant attempt to silence the few remaining
journalists in the region, thereby obscuring the harsh realities of the
war from audiences worldwide," the statement read. It said the
"baseless" accusations came following a recent report by its
investigative unit that revealed potential war crimes committed by
Israeli forces during the continuing assault on Gaza, where at least
42,792 Palestinians have been killed - many of them women and children.
Al Jazeera said its correspondents have been reporting from northern
Gaza and documenting the dire humanitarian situation unfolding "as the
sole international media" outlet there. The Committee to Protect
Journalists (CPJ) said on X that Israel had "repeatedly made similar
unproven claims without producing credible evidence". The press freedom
watchdog noted that the Israeli military had "produced a similar
document" after killing Al Jazeera Arabic journalist Ismail al-Ghoul in
July, containing "contradictory information showing that [al-Ghoul],
born in 1997, received a Hamas military ranking in 2007 - when he would
have been 10 years old". Israel has severely restricted access to Gaza
for international media outlets since it launched its assault on the
Palestinian territory on October 7, 2023, in response to a Hamas-led
attack on southern Israel. Northern Gaza has been under siege for 19
days as Israeli forces continue a renewed ground offensive in the area.
Some 770 people have been killed in Jabalia since the renewed assault
began, according to the Gaza Government Media Office, with Israel
blocking the entry of aid and food from reaching some 400,000 people
trapped in the area.
'Wider pattern of hostility'
"The Network sees these accusations as part of a wider pattern of
hostility towards Al Jazeera, stemming from its unwavering commitment to
broadcasting the unvarnished truth about the situation in Gaza and
elsewhere." Last month, Israeli forces raided Al Jazeera's office in
Ramallah in the occupied West Bank and ordered its immediate closure
following the decision by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's
cabinet in May 2024 to shut down Al Jazeera's operations within Israel.
Israeli forces have killed at least three Al Jazeera journalists in Gaza
since October last year. In July, al-Ghoul and his cameraman Rami al-Rifi
were killed in an Israeli air attack on the Shati refugee camp, west of
Gaza City. The pair were wearing media vests and there were identifying
signs on their vehicle when they were attacked. In December, Al Jazeera
Arabic journalist Samer Abudaqa was killed in an Israeli strike in
southern Gaza's Khan Younis. Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief, Wael
Dahdouh, was also wounded in that attack. Dahdouh's wife, son, daughter
and grandson had been killed in an Israeli air raid on the Nuseirat
refugee camp in October last year. In January, Dahdouh's son, Hamza, who
was also an Al Jazeera journalist, was killed in an Israeli missile
strike in Khan Younis.
Shireen Abu Akleh
Prior to the war on Gaza, veteran Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu
Akleh was shot dead by Israeli forces as she covered an Israeli raid in
Jenin in the West Bank in May 2022. While Israel has acknowledged one of
its soldiers likely fatally shot Abu Akleh, it has not pursued any
criminal investigation over the killing. According to the CPJ, at least
128 journalists and media workers have been killed in Israeli attacks in
Gaza since the war began. The watchdog said last year that Israel's war
on Gaza is the deadliest in modern history for journalists. In its
report, CPJ drew attention to what it called "an apparent pattern of
targeting of journalists and their families by the Israeli military".
Palestinian reporters in Gaza continue to work under gruelling
conditions, facing constant bombardment, displacement and possible
targeting by Israeli forces. In its statement, Al Jazeera called on the
international community to act with the "utmost urgency" to protect the
lives of the six journalists, adding that it stands firm in its belief
that "journalism is not a crime".>>

Delgado Culebras, and Samir Alsharif
<<Arrests of Palestinian journalists since start of Israel-Gaza war
Since the start of the Israel-Gaza war, an unprecedented number of
journalists and media workers have been arrested - often without charge
- in what they and their attorneys say is retaliation for their
journalism and commentary. As of October 24, 2024, CPJ has documented a
total of 69 arrests of journalists in the Palestinian territories of the
West Bank and Gaza and in the city of Jerusalem, claimed by both Israel
and the Palestinians as a capital, since the war began on October 7,
2023. Israel arrested 66; Palestinian authorities arrested three.
Twenty-six of these journalists, including the three held by Palestinian
authorities, have since been released, while 43 remain under arrest. At
least 10 of the journalists arrested by Israel are being held under
administrative detention, a policy under which a military commander may
detain an individual without charge, typically for six months, on the
grounds of preventing them from committing a future offense. Detention
can be extended an unlimited number of times. (Editor's note: These
numbers are being updated regularly as more information becomes
available. The tally includes all arrests documented by CPJ. As is our
global practice, journalists who request anonymity out of concern for
their safety are not named in the list below.) One year into the war, at
least eight journalists’ families have told CPJ that they have been
unable to trace their detained relatives, despite reaching out via human
rights groups, humanitarian organizations, and lawyers. Numerous
journalists have been taken from Gaza to prisons and detention centers
in Israel and the West Bank, where they say they have been subjected to
mistreatment and torture. CPJ has routinely contacted the Israel Defense
Forces' North America Media Desk asking for comments on journalists'
arrests since the start of the war. In their latest response on
September 29, the IDF said it <does not arrest journalists simply for
being journalists> and that it detains <individuals suspected of
involvement in terrorist activity.> The IDF said that <relevant
suspects> were brought to Israel for detention and questioning. The IDF
said it could not fully address CPJ's inquiry about individual
journalists because not enough details, such as their ID numbers or full
names, were included. CPJ had earlier advised the IDF that research
limitations in Gaza prevented the provision of such information. The IDF
and the Israeli Prison Service did not response to CPJ's queries about
the location of Ahmed Abdel Aal, Ahmed Agha, Amjad Arafat, Ihab Diab,
Mahmoud Elewa, Imad Ifranji, Khalil Odeh, and Shadi Abu Sido.
In response to queries about allegations of mistreatment or torture of
Agha, Momen al-Halabi, Mujahed al-Saadi, Osama al-Sayed, and Sido, the
IDF advised CPJ to contact the Israel Prison Service regarding
conditions of detention and to contact Israel's internal security
service Shin Bet regarding people detained in the West Bank. CPJ's
emails to request comment from the Israeli Prison Service, the
Palestinian General Intelligence Service about the arrests of
Palestinian journalists, and Shin Bet about Palestinian journalists
arrested in the West Bank did not receive any replies. The allegations
of abuse documented by CPJ are in line with research by the
Jerusalem-based human rights group B’Tselem, which interviewed 55
Palestinians taken into Israeli custody since the start of the war. Most
were subsequently freed without trial. The detainees reported, "Frequent
acts of severe, arbitrary violence; sexual assault; humiliation and
degradation; deliberate starvation; forced unhygienic conditions; sleep
deprivation; prohibition on, and punitive measures for, religious
worship; confiscation of all communal and personal belongings; and
denial of adequate medical treatment. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has
been arresting Palestinian journalists in record numbers and using
administrative detention to keep them behind bars, thus depriving the
region not only of much needed information, but also of Palestinian
voices on the conflict," said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martínez de la
Serna in New York. "If Israel wants to live up to its self-styled
reputation of being the only democracy in the Middle East, it needs to
release detained Palestinian journalists and stop using military courts
to hold them without evidence."
In its 2023 prison census, CPJ documented the imprisonment by Israeli
authorities of 17 Palestinian journalists, the highest number of media
arrests in Israel and the Palestinian territories since CPJ began
tracking jailed journalists in 1992. However, the number of journalists
behind bars may be higher than CPJ's records show as it has become
increasingly difficult to verify information during the war. Due process
is failing, with lawyers and families often unable to find out why
journalists have been arrested. CPJ is still working to research,
document, and verify reports about the arrest of at least six other
journalists in Gaza not included in this list.

<<Attacks, arrests, threats, censorship: The high risks of reporting the
Israel-Gaza war
Since the Israel-Gaza war began on October 7, 2023, journalists and
media across the region have faced a hostile environment that has made
reporting on the war exceptionally challenging. In addition to
documenting the growing tally of journalists killed and injured, CPJ’s
research has found multiple kinds of incidents of journalists being
targeted while carrying out their work in Israel and the two Palestinian
territories, Gaza and the West Bank. These include 69 arrests, as well
as numerous assaults, threats, cyberattacks, and censorship. As of
October 24, 2024, CPJ's records showed that 43 of these journalists were
still under arrest.>>

<<Journalist casualties in the Israel-Gaza war
The Israel-Gaza war has taken an unprecedented toll on Gazan journalists
since Israel declared war on Hamas following its attack against Israel
on October 7, 2023. As of October 24, 2024, CPJ's preliminary
investigations showed at least 128 journalists and media workers were
among the more than tens of thousands killed in Gaza, the West Bank,
Israel, and Lebanon since the war began, making it the deadliest period
for journalists since CPJ began gathering data in 1992. Journalists in
Gaza face particularly high risks as they try to cover the conflict,
including devastating Israeli airstrikes, famine, the displacement of
90% of Gaza’s population, and the destruction of 80% of its buildings.
CPJ is investigating more than 130 additional cases of potential
killings, arrests and injuries, but many are difficult to document amid
these harsh conditions. "Since the war in Gaza started, journalists have
been paying the highest price - their lives - for their reporting.
Without protection, equipment, international presence, communications,
or food and water, they are still doing their crucial jobs to tell the
world the truth," said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna
in New York. "Every time a journalist is killed, injured, arrested, or
forced to go to exile, we lose fragments of the truth. Those responsible
for these casualties face dual trials: one under international law and
another before history's unforgiving gaze." Journalists are civilians
and are protected by International Law. Deliberately targeting civilians
constitutes a war crime. In May, the International Criminal Court
announced it was seeking arrest warrant applications for Hamas and
Israeli leaders for war crimes and crimes against humanity. To date, CPJ
has determined that at least five journalists were directly targeted by
Israeli forces in killings which CPJ classifies as murders: Issam
Abdallah, Hamza Al Dahdouh, Mustafa Thuraya, Ismail Al Ghoul, and Rami
Al Refee. CPJ is still researching the details for confirmation in at
least 10 other cases that indicate possible targeting. Two more
journalists were killed and three were injured in Gaza around the time
of the war's one-year anniversary on October 7, prompting CPJ to renew
its call for an end to impunity in Israel's attacks on journalists.
As of October 24:
128 journalists and media workers were confirmed killed: 123
Palestinian, two Israeli, and three Lebanese.
41 journalists were reported injured.
2 journalists were reported missing.
69 journalists were reported arrested.
Multiple assaults, threats, cyberattacks, censorship, and killings of
family members.
CPJ is also investigating numerous unconfirmed reports of other
journalists being killed, missing, detained, hurt, or threatened, and of
damage to media offices and journalists' homes.
The list of killed journalists documented in our database includes names
based on information obtained from CPJ’s sources in the region and media
reports. It includes all journalists* involved in news-gathering
activity. It is not always immediately clear whether all of these
journalists were covering the conflict at the time of their deaths, but
CPJ has included them in its count as it investigates their
circumstances.>>

CPJ - October 16, 2024
<<Press freedom groups demand Israel authorizes medical evacuation of 2
Al Jazeera journalists
Three leading press freedom organizations, the Committee to Protect
Journalists (CPJ), Free Press Unlimited (FPU), and Reporters Without
Borders (RSF), on Tuesday, October 15, urgently called on the Israeli
military office responsible for humanitarian coordination, known as
COGAT, to authorize the evacuation of two critically wounded journalists
who require immediate, lifesaving medical treatment. The letter, a rare
public plea, follows frustrated diplomatic efforts and direct appeals to
COGAT by the three organizations since the journalists - Ali Al-Attar
and Fadi Al Wahidi, camera operators for Al Jazeera - sustained severe
injuries while working in Gaza last week. In the letter, the
organizations called for expedited approval for the journalists' medical
evacuation to Jordan or Qatar.
"The Israeli military's duty under international humanitarian law is to
protect civilians, including journalists, and to ensure the wounded
receive timely medical assistance," the organizations wrote. "Targeting
journalists is a clear violation of international law relating to
situations of armed conflict. We respectfully ask for your immediate
intervention to facilitate the necessary permissions for this
evacuation."
