Thousands of journalists around the world are on the frontlines of important stories, often risking a lot to bring us the facts, while trying hard not to become part of the story themselves.

But some Palestinian journalists are accusing Israel of “deliberately” targeting them, as they cover the recent protests at the Gaza border.

In just five short weeks, two Palestinian journalists have been killed by Israeli snipers and at least 12 others injured.
Israel denies it’s targeting reporters.

But it’s facing international criticism for using heavy-handed tactics.

People in Gaza have been under Israeli blockade for years – and many are unemployed.

And the weeks-long protests along the Israeli security fence appear to be escalating since they began nearly a month ago.

So, are Palestinian journalists being targeted?
