November 2 marks the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes Against Journalists. On this occasion, Addameer sheds light on the suffering of journalists in the occupied Palestinian territories. For decades, Palestinian journalists have faced various forms of violations, including arrest, mistreatment, beatings, and ongoing harassment, even to the extent of being targeted with deadly force. 

Data on arrest campaigns in the West Bank since the beginning of the genocide after October 7. 

(Excluding the detention cases in Gaza)

• The total number of arrests stands at (11.100) in the West Bank and Jerusalem. 

The Israeli occupation never stopped targeting Palestinian detainees in prisons. The genocidal war is an extension of long decades in which the occupation practiced systematic crimes, such as torture and medical crimes, that led to the martyrdom of hundreds of detainees over the years of occupation.

In a dangerous precedent, the occupation authorities have issued an arbitrary administrative detention order against 14-year-old Ammar Sobhi Mohammed Abdul Kareem from the town of Abwein in the Ramallah district. Occupation forces raided his home after midnight on August 21, 2024, after blowing up the doors. They searched the house, assaulted him with beatings, and restrained him before holding him alone in one of the rooms. He was then transferred to Ofer Prison, where he remains detained till today.
