MADA Condemns the Shooting of Journalist Al-Samodi


The Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA) condemns a shooting involving Palestine TV correspondent Nizar Al-Samodi in Jenin last nigh 9th Augustt, by an Israeli-registered car.

Al-Samodi told MADA that he was returning to his home in Jenin from Ramallah on Wednesday night when he arrived the crossroads known at 'Tormos Aya and Singel' at about 10:30pm. He said someone then fired a shot at him which hit the car mirror, only missing him by centimetres.

He added: "The bullet was fired by a white Israeli car with yellow number plates. I believe the goal was to kill me, but the shooter underestimated the speed of the car, so the bullet just missed me and broke the mirror of the car instead. I filed a complaint today with the Israeli military liaison office."
