RAMALLAH, August 8, 2018 (WAFA) – The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) said the Israeli military court of Ofer decided to release four Palestinian journalists on condition of paying a 5000 ILS (approximately $1,358) bail.
Abdel-Naser al-Nobani, a PPS lawyer, said The Israeli prosecution reportedly requested the extension of their detention until Thursday, under the pretext of appealing the court’s decision to release them.
The four journalists were identified as Alla’a al-Rimawi, Mohammed Ulwan, Qutaiba Hamdan, and Husni Injas. The four were detained on July 30th.
To be noted, there are 23 journalists currently languishing in Israeli jails; eight of whom were detained last month and early August.
