*RAMALLAH, December 3, 2011 (WAFA)* – *The Palestinian Journalists
Syndicate (PJS)* Sunday condemned Israeli targeting of Palestinian
journalists and jeopardizing their lives during news converge in the field,
according to a press release.

It said the Israeli army has been escalating its measures against
Palestinian journalists by arresting or attacking them, which is part of an
Israeli plan to "terrorize journalists and prevent them from doing their
job."

It said Israeli soldiers arrested Associated Press photojournalist, Majdi
Shtayyeh, and Palestine TV cameraman, Mohammad Radi, while covering
demonstrations and activities in Nabi Saleh, a village near Ramallah, and
physically abused them.

PJS called on international and regional journalists' unions and media
organizations to take an urgent action to stop the Israeli violations
against rights of Palestinian journalists guaranteed by international laws.
