12:49Now PlayingRewaa Mershid, a Palestinian reporter, was recently beaten with branches for not wearing a hijab by a member of the Hamas-run border patrol in Gaza. The Islamic militant group, Hamas, has promised an apology and said it would punish the man. The incident highlighted Hamas’ occasional brutal treatment of both reporters and women in Gaza. On April 25th, Rewaa was filming at a privately owned farm near the heavily guarded Gaza frontier when two members of a Hamas-run border patrol approached and asked them to identify themselves. An argument broke out, and one of them cut a branch off a tree and hit her. A statement was issued by the Palestinian journalists’ union condemning the attack. The incident sparked debate on social media in which some took her side while others condemned her behavior. In 2020, the International Federation of Journalists reported 76 cases of media rights violations by Gaza security forces and 42 by PA security forces in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Mershid was moved by the supportive messages she received on social media, but she no longer feels safe in Gaza.
