Photojournalist Jaafar Shtayeh today survived an attempted car-ramming attack by an Israeli settler close to Huwara military checkpoint, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus.
Shtayeh, who works as a photojournalist for the French Agency (AFP), told WAFA that he was near the military checkpoint to report on the incident involving injuring Ismail Abu Sabra by Israeli military gunfire, when all of a sudden a settler driving a bus attempted to run him over.
He added that this was deliberate, noting that news coverage has recently become more dangerous and that the Israeli forces and settlers target directly journalists aiming to silence the truth.
