Israel detains 5 journalists, charges US reporter with ‘aiding the enemy’: Reports
Israeli police arrested Jeremy Loffredo, a 28-year-old American journalist, for reporting on where missiles landed, including in the Nevatim airbase and an intelligence base, during Iran’s missile attack on Israel earlier this month.
The charges against Loffredo include “aiding the enemy during wartime and providing information to the enemy”, Israeli news site Ynet reported on Thursday.
Loffredo, who works with far-left outlet The Grayzone, is one of five journalists Israeli authorities reportedly detained, Ynet reports.
“Today I was beaten, kidnapped, blindfolded and taken to a military base by the [Israeli army], together with 4 other journalists,” Andrey X, a Russian journalist posted on X, on Wednesday.
“Two of us were held for 11 hours without charges, my phone was confiscated (stolen), and one of us is still in custody,” he said, without offering details of those detained.
I’ve just learned that @loffredojeremy was among the journalists arrested by the Israeli military and is still in jail.
His phone has been confiscated.
That is all I’m able to say for now. https://t.co/PauUyAD2lF

‘Zero accountability’: CPJ marks year since Israel killed, injured journalists in south Lebanon
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said a there has been “zero accountability” a year on from the killing of Reuters journalist Issam Abdallah, and the wounding of six other reporters when the Israeli military fired two tank shells into southern Lebanon.
The deadly attack on October 13, 2023, which also injured two Al Jazeera reporters, “is part of a pattern of impunity by Israel in journalist killings,” the CPJ said.
“The October 13 targeted attack that killed Issam Abdallah and injured six journalists clearly identifiable as press is a continuation of Israel’s decades-long pattern of targeting journalists with impunity,” CPJ CEO Jodie Ginsberg said.
