After weeks of incitement against her by Israeli colonial settlers, occupation forces have reportedly kidnapped Palestinian journalist Naqaa Hamed, Press TV correspondent in occupied Palestine, at a checkpoint near a town southeast of Bethlehem.

Her kidnapping is not an isolated incident. It is part of a broader pattern in which Palestinian journalists are targeted, threatened, harassed, kidnapped, detained and silenced for documenting life under occupation.

How many more journalists must be threatened or kidnapped or detained before the world treats the targeting of Palestinian media workers as the press-freedom crisis it is?
