Israeli Police Attack Journalists Fracturing CNN Producer’s Wrist
Israeli police violently dispersed Muslim worshippers performing Ramadan prayers outside the Old City of Jerusalem, also attacking journalists covering the event. During the confrontation, officers damaged equipment, confiscated memory cards, and detained reporters. A CNN producer sustained a fractured wrist when an officer twisted her arm, an action condemned by journalistic unions and associations as an intentional and unprovoked assault, which police claim was a result of journalists not following orders.
