Palestine Chronicle contributor, Tamar Fleishman was at the Qalandiya Checkpoint, linking the occupied West Bank to occupied Jerusalem on the first Friday of Islam’s holy month of Ramadan. Hundreds of Palestinians were turned back, denied entry to Jerusalem, thus prevented from praying at Al-Aqsa Mosque. She took these photos.

A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women on October 7. But two leading Palestinian media organizations, The Palestine Chronicle and Friends of Palestine Network, conducted a joint investigation, the outcome of which resulted in the ‘The Black Dress’, a groundbreaking 18-minute documentary looking into allegations and the possible falsification of evidence.
