The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate issued a statement strongly denouncing the serious Israeli escalation against the worshipers in the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, Sunday, leading to dozens of injuries, including eleven journalists, deliberately targeted by the soldiers.The Syndicate said the army, and police, deliberately assaulted the journalists, wounding eleven in just a few hours, as dozens of soldiers and Israeli extremists stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Dome of the Rock and their courtyards.
It demanded the International Community to ensure the implementation of the May 2014 Security Council resolution number 2222, regarding the protection of journalists, and prosecuting those who assault them.
The Syndicate also said that the fact that soldiers injured eleven Palestinian journalists, in just a couple of hours, proves the deliberate illegal Israeli policies, and its attempts to hide the tracks of its crimes in occupied Palestine.
In its statement, the Syndicate saluted the journalists in every part of Palestine, especially in occupied Jerusalem, and in Palestinian areas that witness repeated Israeli violations, and clashes.
