Tweet from The Union of Journalists in Israel - March 18, 2026
The Union of Journalists in Israel is appalled by the conduct of the police in Jerusalem last night Police officers attacked several journalists without provocation, including foreign press. The officers damaged professional equipment, confiscated memory cards documenting their illicit actions, and inflicted a bone fracture on a CNN producer. The Union calls on the Police Internal Investigations Department (PIID) to launch an immediate inquiry and to detain all officers involved for questioning. Furthermore, we find the statement issued by the Jerusalem District to be factually incorrect. We call on the Police Commissioner to immediately suspend the officers involved. We wish our injured colleague a speedy recovery and will exhaust all measures to ensure the recovery and return of the seized equipment.
