Israeli soldiers detained CNN crew and assaulted photojournalist in occupied West Bank
Israeli soldiers detained a CNN crew reporting on Israeli settler activity near the Palestinian village of Tayasir in the occupied West Bank on Thursday. During the incident, soldiers pointed rifles at the journalists and a soldier placed CNN photojournalist Cyril Theophilos in a chokehold, slammed him to the ground, and damaged his camera. The Foreign Press Association condemned the incident as a violent assault on press freedom and called for an investigation, while an IDF spokesperson apologized and said the conduct would be investigated.
