Journalist Nasser Lahham's detention extended and he was transferred to Ofer Military Court.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Affairs Commission, citing its lawyer, said that the Israeli occupation authorities have decided to extend the detention of imprisoned journalist Nasser al-Lahham and transfer him to Ofer Military Court until next Thursday.

Israeli occupation forces arrested Al-Lahham at dawn today after raiding his home in the town of Doha in the Bethlehem Governorate and completely destroying its contents.

The number of journalists administratively detained in Israeli occupation prisons, under the pretext of having a “secret file,” is (22) journalists, out of (55) in occupation prisons, including (49) who have been detained since the beginning of the genocide.

The occupation continues to target journalists through what it calls detentions based on "incitement" on social media. This form of detention has become a tool for suppressing freedom of opinion and expression, and has become another form of the crime of administrative detention. The majority of those arrested on the grounds of "incitement," against whom the occupation was unable to file an indictment, were subsequently transferred to administrative detention.

Journalists detained in the occupation's prisons and camps face all the same crimes as prisoners, including systematic torture, severe beatings, starvation, and medical neglect, in addition to the ongoing humiliation and abuse they are subjected to. This is in addition to the ongoing policies of theft and deprivation against them, and their detention in harsh and degrading detention conditions.
