Watch: Israeli Cop Threatens Journo On Air

Al-Araby TV correspondent Ahmad Darwasha was threatened by an Israeli security officer while live on air. The latter yells at the journalist that he‘d better be saying good things about Israel because the Israeli police are monitoring the media. A bit later, he shouts, “Detestable! We’ll turn Gaza to Dust! Dust!”

This incident has drawn online criticism over the intimidation of journalists who are covering the war on Gaza.

The conflict is also putting media workers’ lives in danger. According to the Centre for Protecting Journalists, as of October 17th, at least 17 journalists have reportedly been killed in the hostilities - 13 Palestinian, 3 Israeli and 1 Lebanese.
