Israel detained 46 Palestinian journalists since Gaza onslaught started: Report
The Israeli regime has detained 46 Palestinian journalists since October 7, when it began its ongoing genocidal war on Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) provided the information in a statement on Monday, the official Palestinian WAFA news agency reported..
It added that 32 journalists are still in confinement, including 19 who are being held under the regime's notorious administrative detention policy, which allows Israel to incarcerate Palestinians indefinitely without pressing formal charges or putting them on trial.
Some of the detained journalists have been accused of possessing a "secret file," while some others are being held under the pretext of "incitement on social media."
The PPS then provided details about harsh detention conditions of two journalists, whom it identified as Somaya Jawabreh and Moaz Amarneh.
Jawabreh "was detained while she was seven months pregnant" and is currently being held "under house arrest," the report said.
Amarneh, who was administratively detained on October 16, has been subjected to abuse and torture. He faces difficult health conditions in the Megiddo prison and suffers from difficulty in his sight and blurred vision in his right eye. Despite his dire conditions, the Israeli authorities have refused to this day to allow Amarneh to wear his glasses. He lost one of his eyes in 2019 after Israeli soldiers shot him while he was doing his journalistic work.
Palestinian groups, authorities, and activists have denounced the Israeli regime for its effort to impose a media blackout to prevent its war crimes and crimes against humanity from being properly reported to the international community.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), which is an American independent and non-profit NGO, at least 64 journalists and media workers have been killed since October 7, when the occupying regime unleashed its military onslaught on the Gaza Strip.
