Excerpt:

The team’s interrogation lasted more than two hours, during which all our phones and laptops were examined, and many photos - including personal ones - were deleted. The officer threatened us with worse consequences if we approached the frontier from the Syrian side again, and said that they know everything about us and would track us down if any hidden or un-deleted photo was ever published.

    I could have sworn they’ve killed BBC journalists before, but there’s none on that list so you may be right.

      They’ve banned all Western journalists from Gaza so they don’t have witnesses from Corproate media. I don’t think media are complaining as it makes their job of whitewashing genocide easier.

      I don’t know about BBC but I’m sure international and western journalists have been killed or arrested before.
