Mada: Israel uses journalists as human shields

RAMALLAH, — Mada center stated  in its report that the IOF troops continued their violations against journalists in the occupied Palestinian lands during this month and used some of them as human shields as happened with the cameraman of Palestine satellite channel while he was covering the weekly Bil’in march.

The report added that the IOF troops also physically assaulted a number of journalists and cameramen working for different media outlets during their attempts to cover the violations committed by Israeli troops and settlers against the Palestinians.

The center expressed concern over Israel’s incitement campaign against Al-Jazeera satellite channel and condemned the French broadcasting authority for ordering the France-based satellite provider Eutelsat not to air Al-Aqsa channel.
