The Palestinian Prisoners Club: The number of journalists detained in Israeli occupation prisons is 61, including 52 who were arrested since the beginning of the occupation’s comprehensive aggression against our people on October 7.

The club explained in a statement, on Monday evening, that the occupation arrested 98 journalists after October 7, and kept 52 of them in detention, including 15 administrative detainees, the last of whom was photojournalist Hazem Nasser from Tulkarm, who was transferred by the occupation to administrative detention for five months, and 6 female journalists, including Rasha Harzallah, a colleague at the Palestinian News and Information Agency "Wafa", and at least 17 journalists from the Gaza Strip, noting that among the detainees are journalists Nidal Al-Wahidi and Haitham Abdul Wahid, who are still subject to "enforced disappearance."

The Prisoners Club indicated that at least 12 of the detained journalists are being tried by the occupation on charges of "incitement."

According to the prisoners’ institutions and lawyers who defend detainees in the occupation’s prisons, “incitement” is a charge that is not based on clear and specific legal rules and articles. It is subject to adaptation, formation and interpretation, and has become a tool used by the occupation authorities in an attempt to suppress Palestinians, especially journalists, and silence them, under the umbrella of the “declaration of war” and the “state of emergency” and the retaliatory laws and decisions that accompanied them.
