Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleSome 705 journalists from 42 countries came to Israel specifically to cover the Gaza conflict, according to Israel’s Government Press Office.
The correspondents for the Israeli military’s Operation Protective Edge joined approximately 750 journalists who are stationed in Israel on a regular basis.
In contrast, some 303 foreign journalists arrived in Israel during Operation Pillar of Defense in November 2012.
Following the ceasefire that went into effect Tuesday morning, the press office says it gathered testimony from foreign journalists regarding harassment by Hamas activists while trying to carry out their assignments.
