The Beirut-based Journalist Support Committee said 13 Palestinian reporters were injured by Israeli forces in December.
“Journalists were repeatedly attacked by Israeli occupation forces and settlers,” it added in a statement.
Palestinians mark Dec. 31 as Palestinian Journalist Day in recognition of their role in embracing Palestinian struggle and national rights.
