Israel has arrested 66 Palestinian journalists since October 7

Ramallah, Apr 4 (Prensa Latina) Israeli security forces have arrested 66 Palestinian journalists since the start of the new cycle of violence on October 7, the Palestinian Prisoners Club announced on Thursday.

The non-governmental organization stated in a press release that 45 journalists are still detained.

The latest arrest took place on Wednesday, when the military forces arrested 32-year-old journalist Asmaa Nuh Hreish in the West Bank city of Nablus.

The Palestinian Prisoners Club denounced that since early March, three Palestinian journalists have been sent to prison.

Most were accused of alleged incitement on social media or in the media outlets where they work. At least 23 of them were locked up under the controversial regulation known as administrative detention, it stated.

This week, the Palestinian Media Forum condemned the ongoing military attacks on journalists in the occupied territories, particularly in the Gaza Strip.
