Three journalists among 11 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in Gaza

One assumes the remaining 8 poor sods were collateral damage and the Israelis were carrying on with their ‘deny a narrative’ campaign. There is probably a score card in IDF HQ.

The ruling from #US Magistrate Judge William B. Porter was issued hours after The #WashingtonPost demanded in a #court filing that federal law enforcement officials return the electronic devices the government seized from staff reporter Hannah Natanson’s home last week. The extraordinary search “flouts the #FirstAmendment & ignores federal statutory safeguards for #journalists,” The Post told the court.

Judge blocks #Trump admin from searching data seized from #WashingtonPost reporter

The seizure “chills speech, cripples reporting, & inflicts irreparable harm,” The Post said in statement.

Government officials may not examine electronic devices seized from a Post reporter until litigation stemming from the search of her home is settled, a federal judge in Virginia ruled Wednesday.
