You know who you are. No need to be ashamed.Josh Coulson (TheGamer)
An extensive investigation by Forbidden Stories, in collaboration with Bellingcat, ARIJ, and other media partners, has revealed a disturbing pattern of Israeli military attacks targeting Palestinian journalists who use drones to document destruction in the Gaza Strip.
Since October 2023, Palestinian journalists have been effectively prevented from filming Gaza from the air. Of the small number who continued to use drones to document the scale of devastation, at least five have been killed or seriously wounded in Israeli strikes that colleagues and investigators describe as deliberate.
Ramallah-based human rights organization Al-Haq has filed a criminal complaint against Israeli Economy Minister Nir Barkat, who is currently in Davos. The group says Barkat bears responsibility for international crimes tied to Israel’s colonization of Palestinian land and genocide in Gaza.
Al-Haq argued that during his tenure as Jerusalem mayor, Barkat oversaw illegal settlement activities, including planning, permits, demolitions, and enforcement measures, which the organization says amount to apartheid and other international crimes.
The complaint is filed under Switzerland’s legal framework, which allows prosecution of international crimes when the alleged perpetrator is present in the country.
