HEBRON, February 1, 2025 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained two Palestinian journalists on Saturday evening while they were working in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, and confiscated their equipment.

Journalist Ihab Al-Alami reported that he and his colleague, Nidal Al-Natsheh, were detained by Israeli soldiers while documenting agricultural damage on Palestinian-owned land near the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmei Tzur, which is illegally built near the town. 

Al-Alami stated that Israeli forces seized three cameras from them before forcing them to leave the area.

This incident is part of ongoing Israeli restrictions on press freedom in the occupied Palestinian territories, where journalists frequently face harassment, detention, and equipment confiscation while carrying out their work.
