Israeli soldiers assaulted and detained a journalist, on Saturday, from the contentious Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied East Jerusalem, Quds News Network reported.
The Al Jazeera correspondent in Jerusalem, Givara Budeiri, was clearly identifiable and wearing a PRESS vest, however several Israeli troops assaulted and detained her.
The Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood has been the scene of a colonial scheme which has gained international attention, with activists and civilians standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people under the threat of forced expulsion.
The team was reporting on the Palestinian Naksa or setback, which occurred on June 5, 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
(...) Budeiri was later released, on the condition that she not enter the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood for 2 weeks, according to the Wadi Hilweh Information Center (Silwanic).
