Israel renews detention of Palestinian journalist for fifth time
An Israeli military court has extended the detention of Rasha Herzallah until October 13 for alleged incitement on social media platforms, according to the Wafa news agency, her employer.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs, Israeli authorities detained the journalist from Nablus in the occupied West Bank and interrogated her on June 2, then placed her under administrative detention without charge or trial.
The organisations said Herzallah is one of more than 94 journalists who have been detained since the Gaza war erupted on October 7.
She is also one of five female journalists currently in Israeli prisons, they said.
Military court extends detentions of five Israeli soldiers accused of rape
Five Israeli soldiers accused of gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner have had their detentions extended until Tuesday.
The Israeli military says military prosecutors requested a two-day extension in the case to hand over “investigative materials” to the defence for review and “the possibility of examining an alternative to arrest”.
Five other soldiers were also detained in the case but released, with one going on national television to defend what he called a “healthy” military.
The detentions at the end of last month at the Sde Teiman detention facility in southern Israel caused demonstrations by Israelis defending the soldiers.
They don't even want to arrest them...
