The Israeli military has been accused of targeting Deutsche Welle (DW) reporters in the West Bank, according to Germany's international broadcaster, reported dpa. "A DW team was threatened with weapons and fired on with tear gas by Israeli soldiers while filming in Ramallah, despite wearing clearly marked 'PRESS' gear," the broadcaster said in a statement on Friday. The reporters were exposed to tear gas but remained unharmed. The Israeli military has so far not commented on the incident. According to DW, the team was documenting the "risks faced by media professionals" in the West Bank and observing the work of a local journalist during a demonstration. On their way there, they were informed that the Israeli military was conducting a raid in central Ramallah. "Israeli soldiers aimed their weapons at them during filming," DW reported. The broadcaster released footage showing the incident. The raid in the Palestinian city of Ramallah targeted money changers accused of transferring funds to members of Islamist group Hamas to support terrorist activities against Israel, according to the military. Eyewitnesses reported confrontations between soldiers and residents during the operation, with live ammunition and tear gas being used. The Palestinian Health Ministry, based in Ramallah, stated that around 30 people were injured, some of whom required hospital treatment. In July, DW reported that two of its employees were attacked by Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The correspondent and her cameraman were pelted with stones but managed to escape unharmed. "The repeated attacks on our journalists in the West Bank are absolutely unacceptable," DW director general Peter Limbourg said. "There is no justification for threatening press representatives – neither by the military nor by radical settlers."
