| The Times of Israel | PALESTINIAN JOURNALIST MOHAMMED AWAD DETAINED BY IDF IN WEST BANK, FAMILY SAYS | 2 hrs ago |
The IDF detained Mohammed Awad, a Palestinian journalist, in the West Bank, according to his family. Israeli forces made the arrest during an operation, but the military has not issued a statement about the detention.
Awad’s family said the journalist was taken by IDF troops while they were in the West Bank. Palestinian groups have used the arrest to highlight a trend, noting that the number of journalists detained by Israel has reached 40 and describing the pattern as a “systematic policy of targeting Palestinian journalists.” No details on charges, the intended length of custody, or the circumstances of the arrest have been released by the Israeli military.
The detention occurs amid a broader wave of Israeli security operations in the West Bank and growing concerns from press‑freedom advocates about the treatment of Palestinian journalists.
