Israeli occupation forces attacked Palestinian journalist Ashwaq Awad while detaining her from her family home north of Hebron

Israeli occupation forces attacked Palestinian journalist Ashwaq Awad while detaining her from her family home north of Hebron, causing her arm to break as a result of being beaten inside a military vehicle following the home raid early in the morning.

According to her family, the soldiers raided the house and confined the family members to a single room, while Ashwaq underwent a body search by a female soldier before her phone was seized and she was transferred to a camp belonging to the Karmi Tzur settlement.

The 24-year-old journalist had previously been detained by the occupation last year, spending several months in prison before her release.

This incident comes amid a rise in Israeli violations against Palestinian journalists, including detentions and physical attacks.
