The Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate has condemned the arrest of journalist Ali al-Samoudi by Israeli forces in Jenin, who was detained during a raid on his son’s home. The Israeli military claims he is linked to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, but his family denies the allegations and reports his health is deteriorating after interrogation. Since the Gaza war began in October 2023, at least 79 journalists have been arrested by Israeli forces, with many others killed, highlighting increasing violence against the press in the region.
