   "A Palestinian photographer assaulted by Israeli policemen and other
   journalists injured

       In a letter sent to the Israeli Prime Minister and Minister of
Defense, Ehud
   Barak, Reporters sans Frontières (RSF) protested against the assault
on
   the Palestinian photographer, Atta Oweisat, by Israeli policemen, and
   against shooting at other Palestinian journalists during the clashes
these
   last days. The organization called on the Prime Minister "to refer
the
   matter to the competent authorities so that an inquiry is opened into
   these assaults and the people responsible are punished". "These acts
of
   violence against Palestinian journalists who are simply doing their
work
   must stop" added Robert Ménard, the RSF general secretary.

       According to the information collected by RSF, on 4 October 2000, the
   photographer for the Israeli press agency, Zoom 77, Atta Oweisat, was
   beaten by Israeli policemen with clubs while he was covering a
   demonstration of Palestinians in Jabel Moukaber, near Jerusalem. He
was
   taken to hospital. On 29 September, already, journalists had been
injured
   by shots fired by Israeli soldiers: Khaled al-Zeghary, journalist
freelance;
   Hazem Bader, cameraman with the press agency AP; Mahfouz
   Abu-Turk, freelance photographer and Awad Awad, photographer with
   the press agency AFP. On 1 October, in Hebron, cameraman Amer
   al-Jabari, shot in the head, was also hospitalised. On 2 October, in
   Hebron, Israeli soldiers shoot at Mazen Da'na and Lu'ay Abu-Haikal,
   journalists with the press agency Reuters and Wael al-Shiokhy,
journalist
   with the local TV Al-Nawras."
