There can be no justification for the targeting of journalists, who are civilians, and who were in this case simply doing their jobs. Palestinian authorities must do everything in their power to help ensure the rapid release of these two journalists.”

The CPJ’s sources say the two journalists “were taken in a Mitsubishi Magnum pickup truck…”
