BBC Arabic journalist attacked in Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA BBC Arabic journalist, reporting from Tel Aviv, is knocked off his feet by a Jewish-Israeli attacker while on air.
Firas al-Khatib is seen standing with a bulletproof vest with the word “Press” on it, reporting on the ongoing violence, when a black-shirted man pushes him to the ground.
The assailant wrestles with another man wearing a “Press” vest, but the rest of the incident occurs off-camera.
Al-Khatib resumes his reporting moments later.
