Upon the arrival of the journalist Al-Wahwah, a number of soldiers were standing behind the concrete blocks near the checkpoint, and one of the soldiers pointed with his hand at the journalist Al-Wahwah threatening him not to approach, the journalist did not care, and the young men started throwing stones at the soldiers who in turn started firing gas bombs at them and chasing them. The journalist followed the soldiers to film what was happening, and few minutes later, the soldiers returned to their positions while the same soldier who threatened Al-Wahwah approached him, started yelling at him and cursing him. Al-Wahwah tried to talk to him, but the soldier kicked him twice in his feet and continued cursing him. Al-Wahwah started shouting at the officer who was at the (56) checkpoint, while the soldier moved away. When the officer arrived, the journalist Al-Wahwah explained to him what happened, and the officer said: why would you approach the soldiers? Al-Wahwah replied, I was 10 meters away from them, and this is my job, I am going to file a complaint against these soldiers. The officer did not care about what the journalist said and walked towards the checkpoint, while Al-Wahwah left so he would not be assaulted again.

 

(12th Dec.) An Israeli settler assaulted the cameraman Mohannad Qafishah while he was crossing a checkpoint to Hebron.

According to MADA researcher, at around 11:30AM, on Saturday, corresponding 12th Dec. 2020, the freelance journalist Mohannad Mustafa Mohammad Qafishah (28 years old) (works for Palestine Sports TV), arrived to the military checkpoint “Gilbert”, at the southern entrance to Tel Rumeida in Hebron, coming from his house located in Johar Mountain, going to the center of the city, to film a report on Corona Pandemic. When the journalist Qafishah stopped near the checkpoint, a group of settlers were standing close to him, and he heard one of the settlers speaking in Hebrew, which he understands, saying that he is going to beat him up, and they even made a bet on it. The journalist approached one of the soldiers at the abovementioned checkpoint and told him what he heard. At that moment, the settler approached and hit his head with Qafishah’s head. The journalist filmed the assault of the settler and the population around the checkpoint started gathering to watch while the soldier was yelling at them to stay away, and did not care what the settler did. The settlers left, and after about 15 minutes, an Israeli police patrol arrived at the aforementioned checkpoint, and the journalist Qafishah told them what had happened, showed them a picture of the settler who had attacked him, and filed a written complaint with the policeman, and then the journalist Qafishah left the checkpoint headed home.

At 1:00PM, the journalist Qafishah received a phone call from the Israeli police asking him to go to “Gilbert” checkpoint again. When he arrived there, he found a police patrol waiting for him and the policeman asked him to go with him to the Sanctuary of Abraham Police Center, to identify the settler who assaulted him. Indeed, the journalist went with the Israeli police officers to the mentioned police headquarters, where he waited for half an hour, and while waiting he requested a lighter to smoke. However, the policeman replied to him “you are under arrest here under a complaint filed by a settler against you”. He argued with the policeman about what happened, and at around 2:30PM, another policeman showed up and informed Qafishah that he will be transferred to the investigation center in “Gush Etzion” settlement but no investigators were there, therefore, he will be transferred to “Beitar Illit” Police Center, southern Jerusalem. Indeed, the journalist was transported in the Israeli Police Vehicle to “Beitar Illit” Police Center, where he waited inside the headquarters square until 6:00PM, until one of the investigators came and asked Qafishah to accompany him to his room where they talked about what happened and Qafishah showed him the video on the camera he filmed at the checkpoint showing the settler who assaulted him. On the other hand, the investigator showed Qafishah the testimony of the soldier at the checkpoint and the video the cameras filmed there showing the settler while assaulting journalist Qafishah. The session lasted for an hour and a half, then the journalist was taken out of the room to the waiting square, until one of the Israeli police officers brought the settler to the investigator’s room, and their session lasted for two hours. Then the investigator took the settler out of his room and he was handcuffed, and asked the police to take him, while he told the policeman to have the journalist Qafishah sign on an unpaid financial guarantee amounting to three thousand shekels, and then he was asked to leave the police center, while the journalist Qafishah asked for a ride in the police vehicle to the city of Hebron, due to the lack of vehicles as a result of the closures, but the investigator told him that there was only one vehicle in which the settler would be transported. The journalist waited until 11:30PM at night, until friends arrived in their private vehicle and took him back to his home.

(10th Dec.) Journalist Mohammad Allaham was threatened with kidnapping and murder by citizens belonging to Al-Ja’bari family, after broadcasting a video clip about one of the notables of the aforementioned family.

Allaham commented on these images that Al-Ja’bari is expressly declaring that there is relationship (with the Israelis). Upon the end of the episode, threats against Allaham were flooded through social media by members of Al-Ja’bari family, but the most serious of these threats appeared in a gathering of the Ja’bari family held in front of the family’s Diwan the next day (December 11), after a clash between gunmen and the Palestinian security services in Hebron took place. The participants in the meeting chanted against the journalist Allaham, and threatened him, accusing him of seeking to stir up sedition, and promised to sue MAAN TV before Israeli courts.

Allaham denies that he has insulted or cursed anyone in the press material that he broadcasted during his show, and that he left it to the viewers to interpret what he had presented, and that he was surprised by the intensity of the reaction represented in shooting and public threat of killing, kidnapping and insulting his family, which prompted him to transfer those threats (whether the videos or posts on social media) to the Public Prosecution Office to be legally pursued. Allaham expressed his readiness to be held accountable for his press material and its compliance with the conditions of professional work within the framework of the Journalists Syndicate or the Palestinian judiciary, and emphasized his rejection of any tribal or family reconciliation of this issue, or compliance with the Israeli judiciary in the event of a complaint against him, according to what Abu Khader Al-Ja’bari threatened.

Threats against Allaham were limited to posts through the social media, but he did not receive any direct threats through the cell phone, or his personal accounts on the social media or face to face.
