Journalists’ cameras and equipment destroyed

Journalists covering the offensive in Jenin have been attacked, with videos and photos shared online showing their video cameras being set on fire.

Other photos shared online to Twitter showed journalists wearing press vests holding their cameras which had been severely damaged.

According to local journalists on the ground, some of the cameras being destroyed by Israeli forces belonged to Al Araby TV staff who were on the ground covering the events.

Palestinians have decried the move as an attempt to cover up the attacks on Palestinian civilians and to hide evidence of abuses carried out.
