Journalist Alaa al-Rimawi has been arrested, bringing the total number of media workers held in Israeli detention to 39, Shehab Wire reported. The arrests reflect an ongoing crackdown on press freedom in occupied Palestinian territories and Israeli prisons.
The detention of journalists has raised concerns among media advocacy groups about access to news coverage and the ability of Palestinian outlets to report on conditions under occupation.
